Now _this_ is what Undo ought to be doing in a Minesweeper clone.

Rather than revealing the entire mine layout when you die, we now
only reveal the one mine that killed you. You can then Undo and
continue playing, without having spoiled the rest of the grid for
yourself. The number of times you've died is counted in the status
line (and is not reduced by Undo :-).

Amusingly, I think this in itself is quite a good way of dealing
with ambiguous sections in a Minesweeper grid: they no longer
_completely_ spoil your enjoyment of the game, because you can still
play the remainder of the grid even if you haven't got a completely
clean sweep. Just my luck that I should invent the idea when I've
already arranged for ambiguous sections to be absent :-)

use it. If you step on a mine, the program will only reveal the mine
in question (unlike most other implementations, which reveal all of
them). You can then Undo your fatal move and continue playing if you
like. The program will track the number of times you died (and Undo
will not reduce that counter), so when you get to the end of the
game you know whether or not you did it without making any errors.
(If you really want to know the full layout of the grid, which other
implementations will show you after you die, you can always use the
Solve menu option.)
