+1.
Assuming that such additions are needed. That's
the question.
One could argue, without reasons given, for almost
any Emacs this-or-that to be gone over in the basic
tutorial. It's good to be able to _reason_ about a
change proposal, however.
Any number of "fine additions" are conceivable.
That doesn't make any or all of them desirable.
A proposal to change the status quo is usually
accompanied by some reasons for the change.
