Under Apple's Terminal.app, the current default mapping for "control cursor
left" and "control cursor right" are the ANSI-standard "\033[5D" and
"\033[5C" respectively. The capital letters are required by the standard,
apparently, but this leads to strange behavior when running Emacs (every
version I've tested, from the default Apple-distributed 22.1, and 23.4/24.1
as built by brew), where ctrl+left/right invokes shift-select-mode during
the movement. Is this the correct response to that key sequence?

The same result does not occur in the X11 version of emacs, for the obvious
reason that the key-mapping of ctrl+left/right is different for XTerm.
