Frequently used here. I often need to back out of some window management 
mishaps.

Makes sense in theory, but these are not repeatable (though some 
integration with repeat-mode, as well as more advertising of that mode, 
could work around that problem).

I guess my main reservation is that the current bindings are very 
comfortable, and we'd lose the chance to tell the user about them.

Perhaps we could instead add a defcustom which would list both options?
