Instead of "Use common bindings", whose meaning is not obvious unless
you've been told, I suggest calling it "undo/cut/copy/paste: Emacs" or
"undo/cut/copy/paste: a la mode", depending on which one it would be
switching to. Or just "undo/cut/copy/paste" if there is no need to indicate
which one it would be switching to.

It is a general Emacs convention taht Ctrl-Shift-LETTER is equivalent to
Ctrl-LETTER. But since this would be an optional alternate set of bindings,
there is no reason not to do it that way.
Perhaps that one option would rebind C-Sh-Z along with C-z.
HOWEVER, on ttys there is the danger that the user would have
no way to suspend Emacs. It's not enough to define one,
we have to inform these users of it and make sure they know it.
Any ideas?
