Unfortunately no, you haven't overlooked anything.  The best way
to handle this is to exit without saving your changes.  There is
no "undo" operation.

We will definitely need to consider such an operation when we move
to an embedded-sql data store (read: no "save" operation required,
because your data is saved at each commit operation).
