	<description>
		Helper to manage UndoRedo in the editor or custom tools. It works by registering methods and property changes inside 'actions'.
		Common behavior is to create an action, then add do/undo calls to functions or property changes, then committing the action.
		Here's an example on how to add an action to Godot editor's own 'undoredo':
		[codeblock]
		var undoredo = get_undo_redo() # method of EditorPlugin

		func do_something():
		    pass # put your code here

		func undo_something():
		    pass # put here the code that reverts what's done by "do_something()"

		func _on_MyButton_pressed():
		    var node = get_node("MyNode2D")
		    undoredo.create_action("Move the node")
		    undoredo.add_do_method(self, "do_something")
		    undoredo.add_undo_method(self, "undo_something")
		    undoredo.add_do_property(node, "position", Vector2(100,100))
		    undoredo.add_undo_property(node, "position", node.position)
		    undoredo.commit_action()
		[/codeblock]
		[method create_action], [method add_do_method], [method add_undo_method], [method add_do_property], [method add_undo_property], and [method commit_action] should be called one after the other, like in the example. Not doing so could lead to crashes.
		If you don't need to register a method you can leave [method add_do_method] and [method add_undo_method] out, and so it goes for properties. You can register more than one method/property.
