I really like it. When I first started using Emacs (in 1997), I tried
marking a region and pressing tab to indent it.  Disappointed that it only
indented the first line I drummed through with arrow-down and tab.  It was
only much later, having read up on elisp, that I bound tab to my own
indent-line-or-region command.

I don't want to have to remember separate key bindings - there are too many
as it is.
