register commands compatibility bindings

register commands compatibility bindings

[T. V. Raman]

My fingers are too used to using c-xx for copying to a register
and c-xg for inserting a register.

These used to be available as
copy-to-register-compatibility-binding etc, but they appear to
have disappeared after a recent cvs update. There is no note of
these going away in lisp/Changelog.

Would love to see them back -- even though C-xri and C-xrs might
be more intuitive to new users.
