Feature request: undo/redo restore position

[Austin Green]

Would it be possible for the caret position to be saved and restored on undo and redo?

There may be multiple views (with independent selections) of a single document and thus one undo stack. There may also be multiple carets in a single view. An implementation should account for both these (which could be refusal to support these possibilities) and be an option. Applications that do not turn this option on should not see a significant storage or speed cost.

My need, and I suspect most people's, would only be for the single-caret situation. For multi-caret, perhaps save only the main caret. Storage required would be two integers per undo entry: caret offset in buffer and virtual space.
