Done.

Those are all ASCII, AFAIK.

Not sure I agree.  Usurping too many characters would not be a good
idea, IMO.

How can such a binding be useful, when Emacs runs on a non-French
keyboard?  Do we really want to encourage modes that can only be fully
functional in some specific locales?  I don't think so.

Any reasons not to close the bug report?
