well actually lets talk about C-s. If one hit C-s C-h, wouldn't it be
neat if it were like when one hit C-h k C-s?
No, because that action will confuse beginners. Acting on the
principle of `least surprise' they will come to expect all commands to
work like that. Thus, a beginner would expect `s C-h' to provide the
same results as `C-h k s' rather than the current result.
If you made such a change, to what would you rebind `C-h' to so as to
continue to provide the current features?
