My personal opinion is that `zap-to-char' is good enough for me and I don't need this one, I do not personally see the need for zap-up-to-char either, because it is so easy to retype the character that M-z already prompted for. However, if your usage is such that you know that you *never* will want to erase the character, then rebinding M-z to zap-up-to-char might be useful. Sincerely, Luc.
