Apart from the use-case you described in a later mail, this could provide a path to series-level logging (one of the points in my list); since the meaningful changes in a series involve changing the HEAD, we would the have most the needed info that way. Operations just shuffling the stack (eg. "float -s", or "push XXX; push --undo") would probably require putting the series file itself
