Yes, that sounds reasonable, but OTOH, we had also a lot of complaints
that AUCTeX took over latex-mode.  So for me, introducing new names was
also a chance to cut off with that old habit.  But as I said in my other
message, I don't want to block a feature I don't use.  If you and Keita
think we should do this, let's do it.

Best, Arash
