An alternative to inhibit-quit here is to use `atomic-change-group`.

AFAIU the advantage of atomic-change-group is with regard to
undoing. But SES has its own undo mecanism. So, I am not sure whether
atomic-change-group would have any great added value.
Anyway, I suspect that some operations are such as if you quit in the
middle of them, the result of undoing is not guaranteed. You probably
have to ses-reconstruct-all just after undoing.

No, it uses undo internally, but that's about it.
The advantages are:
- In case an error occurs in the middle of the processing, you won't be
left with half of the change done. I.e. the same advantage as
inhibit-quit but extended to any *error*.
- it doesn't set inhibit-quit, so if some operation happens to inf-loop
in there, the user can still interrupt it with C-g.
