Amen.
'C-h a' does a fairly good job of describing the trees. It does a truly
horrid job of describing the forest.
For example, setting zmacs-region to nil will affect the setting of the
X selection - and will also affect the behavior of M-u (whether to do
a word or region). Lotta forest there.
Custom - I've never decided for sure there's any actual trees in there. ;)
