I haven't heard anything from Stefan on this, but to get the "ball
rolling" I suppose we're talking about a patch like the one below. I'm
not familiar with the keybinding standards of Emacs, but its some ideas I
had to fulfill the C-c requirement and maintain some semblance of command
mnemonics the M- commands had. I also imagined the old bindings needed to
be preserved and didn't delete them.
