AFAIK historically there has been very little standardization in this
respect until a decade ago or so, so I tend to assume that all bindings
of `q` to something vaguely similar to `quit-window` re just leftovers
from that era and should be replaced by either a binding to
`quit-window` or inheritance from `special-mode`.
