I think that in both cases we need to identify them somehow as key = remappings in the output. 2. What is the new feature that causes the `A-' bindings to now show up = in addition to the `C-x 8' bindings? Shouldn't that feature be called out = in NEWS, even if it is just a new set of key remappings? What was the rationale = behind the change?
