Are we going the all-or-nothing route here? Again? Try explaining to someone that a tool he is supposed to use for hours every day doesn't follow his platform's standards because it supports on other platforms too.

What's the variable enabling the usual Windows behavior of Alt+SPC? Seriously, on this topic I'm happy with what Emacs does now, but this is not about my personal preferences, but about if adding an option for turning the Windows key into Meta would be appreciated by some users.
