By accident, please type C-\ C-\ C-\ C-\ C-\ C-\ C-\ You are prompted for Input method: You hit C-g, but the prompt just pops back up again. Unless you realize that you hit several C-\'s and not just one, you get the impression that emacs is now broken, especially after a couple more C-g's. Maybe one C-g should put us back at 'top level', in cases like these. Or maybe after each C-g, instead of saying "Quit", say "Quit layer 7" or some count indicator. Yes, that would be better than sometimes blowing lots of input when going to top-level.
