 We have USE=xemacs and emacs...and the key bindings for above editor
will switch to something that is also compatible with XEmacs.  So why
shouldn't one choose USE=xemacs here?  We, XEmacs and GNU Emacs team,
understand "our" USE flags as integration with said editors not
something to mimick their behaviour.
