OK, I have no problem about what the developers may think most users want  
as default.

That’s the point. I know that there is almost always a solution to get  
what you want when using emacs, as opposed to many today’s software  
programs. However the existence of a solution is not enough, there must be  
a *simple function* with a *meaningful name* (maybe aliases too) in order  
go back to a *simple behavior*. Not all people can spend hours studying  
the arcanes of such a complex program just to fit basic needs.

Cheers,

Alexandre
