Ah, thanks for pointing that out.

Well, sure -- we get that for free.

I think we can consider this proposal over.  While I find 
`org-fold-hide-subtree' very useful, the Org Mode default keyspace 
is very busy already, and we don't hear anyone proposing to drop 
something else in favor of `org-fold-hide-subtree'.  Anyone can 
custom-bind it themselves, of course (which is what I'll continue 
doing).

Agreed.
