Well, yes, sure, I suppose we can vote on this, though I personally will
abstain on 2. Point is, that if we accept 1, that's all we need.
I think the standard should recommend that "Select All" be implemented as a
toggle; press the same key again to delselect. Why block two assignments?
This makes sense to all I hope.
