Without addressing the point of your message, the reasoning
behind this binding is that similar track types would get
similar bindings.  For example, `V' for VCD and `D' for DVD.
This avoids the conflict between `DVD' and `directory'.

If we collapse `i f', `i d', `i t', `i u' and `i l' into `i',
then `i a' and `i C' would probably move to an `I' submap.
I guess we could let `i C' move to both `I c' and `I C', and
reserve both `I d' and `I D' for inserting DVDs.

Hmm, what if `I' was a prompt command, like I originally
suggested (see <address@hidden>), but
with a twist:  Typing uppercase letters into the prompt
would be shortcuts to inserting various kinds of tracks.
So `I C' would immediately insert a CD, and `I A' would
immediately prompt for an action; that is, they would be
shortcuts for `I cd RET' and `I action RET'.  (By the way,
see also <address@hidden>.)

I can't think of any prompt in Emacs in which only some
characters are electric, so maybe this is a bad idea.

Oh, another thing that would help is the manual. :-)

Anyway, Joel, thank you for taking the time to document
your experience and findings and for providing a patch.
I will look at the problem later if nobody else does.
