As I (apparently) never tire of pointing out, it's not possible to get
arrow keys to work correctly using map! commands, though you can certainly
get better behaviour than what happens if you don't map them. :-)

You're likely to get your novice users coming in and saying `Why does it
move diagonally when I do up-arrow at the start of a line?'
