Not that I don't like it, you understand, but I keep coming up against
bugs it causes.  The latest:  You can read a file into the minibuffer
with ^X^R.  (Try ESC-X ^X^R <some file which exists>.)  This is not too
bad, you can always "erase-buffer" to get rid of it.  But! if the file
has a mode associated with it, you lose your key bindings.  Not good.
I don't have a fix for this one yet, just thought I'd warn you all.
