GIven that M-n and M-p are widely used bindings, I don't think you'll
win many fans by adding global bindings for them, unless the new
bindings clearly don't conflict or interact in strange ways with other
uses.

For instance, comint uses M-n and M-p; is the new functionality not
useful in comint buffers?  Also, given the possibility for moving
between buffers (with global marks), it would be very disconcerting if,
a user was repeatedly hitting, say M-n, and suddenly things "stopped
working" as soon as he popped into a comint (etc) buffer.

Gnus is another heavy user of M-n/M-p.
