A few years ago on this very group a set of unified EMACS key bindings
was discussed and agreed upon.  Included in these are the following
that I heartily recommend to all EMACS developpers

1.  Use ^\ whenever you would have used ^S and use ^^ when you would
    have used ^Q.

2.  Bind M-space to set-mark, in addition to ^@, since many
    systems/terminals are incapable of dealing with NUL.  Also ESC-space
    is a much nicer key stroke sequence than CTRL-SHIFT-2 which is
    required on many terminals.
