Just to clarify this little piece here: I originally introduces this
clustering code to mimic emacs' behavior in text mode.  Org-mode's
aggressive interception seemed to prevent that and undoing in org-mode
felt unnatural compared to vanilla text mode.  It was never meant to be
*more* aggressive than emacs' original behavior.

The grouping did not happen at the time.  The original thread is here:
