 * FIXME: We need something to record undo in partial grids for mathed.
 * Right now we use recordUndoInset if more than one cell is changed,
 * but that puts the cursor in front of the inset after undo. We would need
 * something like
 * recordUndoGrid(DocIterator & cur, UndoKind kind, idx_type from, idx_type to);
