It doesn't matter to me how it's done, as long
as only one key (`C-x 5 2') is sacrificed for
these 3 related behaviors, and as long as we
nevertheless provide separate commands, for
users who do want to bind different behaviors
to different keys.

Discoverability is one thing.  I don't see it
as a big problem in what I proposed.  At least
as important, I think, is needlessly wasting
key bindings.

Discoverability is not only about keys; it's
about behaviors, and commands that realize them.
