That would certainly be the _least_ that we could hope for.  I have no objection
to such a feature as an option, but I would not like to see it become the
default for Emacs.

I think the default behavior on Windows is pretty good.  I think Emacs out of
the box should let users use the "Windows" keys (`lwindow', `rwindow') for
something other than Meta (including letting them use it in the regular MS
Windows way).

FWIW: For my personal use I also do this, to allow use of `M-TAB' by Emacs (as
opposed to needing to use `ESC TAB'): (w32-register-hot-key [M-tab])

I'm guessing this is less well known than the possibilities provided by options
`w32-alt-is-meta', `w32-pass-alt-to-system', and `w32-recognize-altgr'.
Sometimes I wonder if we shouldn't provide an option for this behavior, just to
help users find it easier.
