How so "non-consistent"? `w32-register-hot-key' seems to act quite consistently,
affecting its KEY argument everywhere, at all levels. Is that not the case?
Besides, the Emacs manual explicitly recommends to users that they "change any"
Windows shortcuts "that get in the way of use of Emacs" - see node Symbol
Completion.
If that's what we recommend, then why don't we do it for them, as the default
behavior? Why don't we practice what we preach to users? And any user who wants
to go against that recommendation/default could still do so.
