That's an alternative, yes.  Not knowing enough about how what calc-undo
does, I can't judge whether that's preferable (which mostly depends on
whether it's OK to render the real `undo' completely unreachable (other
than via M-x undo) in those buffers).  I'll let the Calc maintainer
figure that one out.
