It would be more convenient to have a special mode `undo-mode'
that is disabled by default.

To enable undo-mode, it will possible to select from the main menu:

  Edit >
   Enable Undo Mode

Then after enabling it, more menu items will appear on the menu:

  Edit >
   Disable Undo Mode
   Undo
   Redo

Also the current number of undo-limit will be hard-coded
for more convenience:

Does this make sense?

If not, wouldn't be more preferable the following patch
that does the opposite?
