I'm guessing there are good reasons for some or all of
these things - reasons that would help me understand
better. Explanation appreciated.
I ported Emacs 22 to VMS a while back, and fuzzily remember
playing w/ this corner (changing things to see what breaks).
Based on this, i would say these things are the way they are
primarily due to tradition (C-g ≡ ASCII BEL, which makes a
‘ding’, uncoincidentally) and inertia (no one has bothered
{ration,gener}alizing things further). That is also a guess.
