* bug#11482: 24.0.96; Keep `M-s' as a prefix key for search (conflict with Gnus)

An Icicles user just brought to my attention the fact that Gnus binds
`M-s' to a command (`gnus-summary-search-article-forward', IIUC).
 
This conflicts with a default Icicles setting, but that's no big deal
because it is easy for users to customize this.  By default, Icicles
uses `M-s M-s' as a prefix key for Icicles search.
 
My understanding was that `M-s' is now pretty much reserved as a prefix
key for search.  For example: `M-s w' and the Dired search keys, which
all use prefix key `M-s f'.  My thinking for defining `M-s M-s' as an
Icicles search prefix key was (a) `M-s' is a prefix key for Emacs search
generally, and (b) I did not find any conflicts for `M-s M-s' on the
`M-s' prefix key.
 
But if Gnus binds `M-s' to a command, that conflicts with the general
use of `M-s' as a prefix key (for search).  That is the bug: Gnus should
not bind `M-s' to a command.  `M-s' should remain a prefix key (for
search).
 
Presumably, in the context where `M-s' is bound to a Gnus command it is
unavailable for use by Isearch etc.  Even for Gnus users of vanilla
Emacs, I would think that this would be a loss.
