Better check (eq (window-buffer) (current-buffer)), since these two
functions are mere accessors, whereas get-buffer-window is a funny
function which returns *one of* the buffer's windows (or nil) and is
hence both more costly (it has a loop inside) and less reliable.

Not sure what is the benefit of signaling `quit` rather than `error`.
Can you expand on that?

IIUC, this is an unintended change in your code, right?

What is this change meant to do?

This might make sense to work around the problem, but is clearly not an
actual fix. IIUC Tony said it looked like a bug in undo-tree.
Has there been any progress on finding/fixing the bug there?
What is this "canary" meant to do? If it shouldn't signal an error
here, maybe rather than the constant `undo-tree-canary`, undo-tree
should use another constant value, i.e. one that is a valid (and
harmless) undo entry.
