I think choosing those Meta keys because they are unbound for minor
modes is unwise because the existing C- versions are extensible within
the context of the originating key.
In theory, that is right, but in these particular cases, it doesn't
apply. The global definition of C-o does not have any natural
Meta-equivalent, and that's why we don't have a global definition of
M-o.
I grepped around, and it seems to me that folding modes are special in
that:
a) There are several of them
b) Keybindings should be easy to type to aid navigation.
You may be getting at a good idea here. But I think that "folding
modes" may be too narrow a category. Can you find a somewhat more
general description which still distinguishes them from the other
alternatives?
