Subject: RE: Bikeshedding go! Why is <M-f4> unbound?
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 08:06:25 +0000	[thread overview]

Because Emacs is already too complicated for users to configure. It seems you
are advocating making it more complicated purely for the vague notion that some
hypothetical library might want to do something with keys that are unbound
within Emacs, and hardcoding the behaviour of #3 would interfere with that for
this one key (which is bound outside of Emacs).
