FEATURE REQUEST - Freeze Undo - Region FX

I've undone my work by accidently twice, my fault, when using Melodyne by clicking Edit -> Undo in Sonar (not Melodyne). You can lose a lot of work this way.
 
I propose that when Melodyne (or other region FX plugin) is in the foreground Edit -> Undo is disabled in the Sonar menu as it will undo all the changes completely.
 
Lose focus of Region FX, and undo will be enabled again.
Maybe have it as an option in Preferences.

Does that make any sense? Any objections (remember would be an option in preferences) if so why?
 
Thanks....

    please, please, please put this in as a feature request ... this is one of my biggest gripes with Sonar / Melodyne since the ARA integration - when working with a CS like the vs-700 you're in the habit of hitting the UNDO button and then everything is gone ... happened at least 3 times after installing X3c (meanwhile learned it - hopefully) ...
     
    Melodyne is mouse only and it used to have UNDO buttons in the GUI before the ARA thing ... now undo is hidden in the melodyne menu, which makes reaching for the CS UNDO button even more tempting in long sessions when your brain gets numb ...
     
    actually it would be really nice if the Sonar UNDO/REDO could remap to Melodyne UNDO/REDO if melodyne is in focus, but I reckon that's wishful thinking and just too user friendly to hope for ;-)

    What would be nice is a user defined set of tables of what to undo. I am sure something(tables) exist already, but it would be good to externalize the undo to the user in a table for their decision.

    I like the idea of expanding the undo function into something with more options. I think of list of the last few edits with the option to only undo a specific action or undo all actions except a particular action would be very helpful.
     
    I have never fully grasped sonar's undo history method. Seems like I'm working in the dark. So I bypass the option and just use basic undo of last action(s).
