I agree now with Ed Avis that we should _not_ bind
either command to a key by default. Anyone who
uses them can bind them to keys.
These commands are not super-useful. There is no
reason to sacrifice default keys to them. It's
good to have such commands, but default keys
should be defined only when we know there's a lot
of clamor for them. ;-)
