I believe that one would still fail for this case, as "ImplicitUndo"
isn't included.

Besides that, I'd rather have something simple that does something
predictable than something complex that pushes the "gets it right"
figure from 98% to 99.2%, while failing in completely annoying and
surprising ways sometimes. Someone or something still has to verify
that the merge produced something sane.
