There are many naive ideas for backup that work in limited
contexts.  The assumption of keystroke backup is that the
keystrokes are the only information needed.  That might be true
in simple system.  It is not true when one is interacting with
a more general environment.  For example, inserting files from
a hierarchy using names relative to the current environment.
Or reading mail, or waiting for timeouts.
