Well, it's clearly a win for people who are used to using M-f to mean forward-word. However, even those who want menu bindings may be able to use them if they have a key that generates `Alt' (as opposed to `Meta'). This decision simply means that emacs won't steal Meta for that use unless otherwise told to. -Miles -- Saa, shall we dance? (from a dance-class advertisement)
