How necessary is it today to have *by default* C-i bound to TAB (and
C-m bound to RET). This is a real honnest question, I'm wondering if
some terms have hard-bound C-i etc. Please note that I really like
C-m, because RET is just to far away from my right hand. But TAB and
C-i are equaly accessible. In case it is not hard-bound on some
systems emacs runs on, how about using one for indent and the other
for completion ? That could allow to have a consistent behaviour
across modes.
