That kind of regret already exists and has a name. It’s called a “conscience”, and it tells you when the thing you’re about to do is wrong. Problem is that many people never pay attention to it.

OK. I really like this. Lets do it for “refund” too: “Prefund”. Yay!
Or how about “remark” or “rebuild”. Dang, there are a LOT of great ideas out there…
