And that's a good idea because ___?
I suppose it's good for people using multiple platforms
(consistency). But since different platforms have
(apparently) such different outside-Emacs behaviors,
perhaps an alist of values, keyed by platform in some
way, would be better. Then the defaults for common
platforms could be preconfigured according to what
users of those platforms might expect. And a user
of multiple platforms could opt for either the same
behavior everywhere or different behaviors here and
there. Just something to think about, I guess.
