Having separate bindings shouldn't hurt either, especially in said 
complex situations.

And try to consider how the visualization would look. I think it would 
have to be like a tree (basically, like the one undo-tree paints). Then 
it would probably be logical to have at least two different commands 
which allow traversing the buffer states in both directions along the 
branches of that tree. And presto, we got undo-tree again.

Perhaps I'm lacking in imagination, though.
