I agree. There are other *hide* commands that don't use `C-h'
in their bindings. There are even other hideshow hide commands
that don't use it:
C-c @ C-M-h
C-c @ C-l
C-c @ C-t
C-c @ C-d
There's anyway redundancy: C-c @ C-h is the same as C-c @ C-d.
(And C-c @ C-M-h is the same as C-c @ C-t.) Are all of the
default bindings really necessary/useful?
(If you think it's important to have something that fits with
the `C-c @ C-M-h' of `hs-hide-all' then use `C-c @ M-h'.)
My guess is that the author just didn't know about using `C-h'
after a prefix arg. And the more exceptions to that working,
the more people will do likewise: mistakenly (in ignorance)
bind `C-h' after a prefix key, preventing it from that use.
> But it seems much too late to do anything about that now.
Why is it too late? Just drop `C-c @ C-h' - that's my suggestion.
