Great.  What are other punctuation characters?  Are +, -, *, /, &, %
etc. punctuation characters?  It sounds like one is really limited to
the list shown above.

Yes.

We are already violating the convention with `C-c .' and `C-c _' at
least.  We should not continue this tradition.  Lacking a good
alternative (e.g. I don't want another bunch of bindings with three
key strokes) I'd only make the key bindings used for `next-error'
available as proposed earlier.
