Hm... We've got a variety of stuff on `C-x <num>', but mostly things
that deal with windows/tabs/frames. But perhaps it might make sense to
put a `find-*' keymap there.

Unfortunately `C-h C-f' is taken, but this makes sense.

That's a good point.
I doubt `C-h C-f' is used that often, so perhaps we could consider
moving it and binding these four find-* commands to the `C-h' map.
Anybody else with opinions or ideas here?
