I'm not a scripter (which is rather obvious from my posts lol) but I just wanted to chime in from the user perspective here.

The average user runs a LOT of scripts. For everything. Larger ones like Track Inspector and LBX Stripper, smaller ones like Julian's amazing MIDI scripts, etc.

Having to undo literally several times because a script created an undo point is a complete workflow killer. If I do something simple like transpose an item and have to hit undo 3 or 4 times to actually undo the command I just did it becomes really really tedious.

So please consider Mespotine's suggestion of UndoExclude_Begin(), UndoExclude_End(). It is really, really necessary. Especially since scripting is now going to become part of theme customization in Reaper 6.
