  Does anyone have an idea how possible/easy it would be to define a
key as a prefix for control?  In other words, to allow a two key
substitution for any control key?  (Example: 'C-v s' substitutes for
'C-s'.  C-v would be a bad choice, but you get the idea).  Loosely, to
define an equivalent of the escape key for Control?  I remember seeing
this in some earlier emacs (I think the original twenex version).  The
manual describes the key bindings, but doesn't give any general method
to get at a key's corresponding control definition.

  This strikes me as being an easy and general solution to the problem
of terminal servers etc. catching ^S and ^Q.  Redefinition of C-^ and
C-\ relies on your terminal being able to produce them, and my home pc
(Macintosh) can't.  Suggestions/questions/comments/flames?
