I have removed those bindings. BTW, for after the release, I wonder if we shouldn't also free up `C-x [' and `C-x ]'? 1. They are not particularly handy for repeated movement (except via `z z z'). 2. `C-s C-q C-l' (`C-s C-s...') is quicker for repeated movement among pages. (I always use that.) 3. The use of `C-u C-]' is good, to move forward N pages, but that's probably almost as useful without any binding (using `C-u M-x forward-page'). Just a thought. Independent of this, I think the Emacs manual should explicitly mention (remind people of) `C-s C-q C-l' (`C-s C-s...'). It mentions using `C-q C-l' to insert a page break, but it doesn't mention searching for page breaks. This should be obvious, but a reminder wouldn't hurt.
