After thinking some more about it, I see that this patch probably
wouldn't affect me much because it doesn't seem to affect
"emacsclient --no-wait", which is what I use 99% of the time.

Maybe a global binding rather than a minor-mode binding would be less
problematic (since minor-mode bindings take precedence over major-mode
bindings).
