I like the idea of buffer key bindings behind some new "C-x
<new_letter>" map. This inspired me to add some of those to my systems
(also a binding for "hl-line-mode") and I think they are useful for many
people. My current list would be:

    C-x g c = clone-buffer
    C-x g d = diff-buffers
    C-x g h = hl-line-mode
    C-x g i = insert-buffer
    C-x g n = rename-buffer
    C-x g r = revert-buffer
    C-x g t = toggle-truncate-lines

(My system doesn't seem to have "revert-buffer-with-fine-grain".)

It would have been nicer if Magit documentation would have only
suggested user to bind "C-c g" (not "C-x g") key for "magit-status".
