Thanks for the interesting replies.  Perhaps unsurprisingly,
it demonstrates again just how "personal" emacs is and how it
becomes more and more so over time.

However, I think the extent of it would stagger the
uninitiated, and this raises a practical point.  When
attracting newcomers to emacs, they need to hear that you
don't have to eat the elephant whole, and that with time and
experience they will find their own best ways.
