Just from this very simple recipe, buffer-undo-list contains all of this
(assuming you made no mistakes typing it in, it's unclear to me how to
reproduce it non-interactively). And I find it pretty difficult to
interpret buffer positions in my head. So interpreting what all the
element means is ... a pain.

Some way of visualizing the effect of undo list elements. A way to
replay and rewind without affecting the undo list.
Implementing such a thing would probably be pretty difficult. I have
some crude visualization for markers in yasnippet-debug.el (in GNU
ELPA).
