Re: Disappearance of hi-lock bindings from global key map.

[Kaushal Modi]

I might not be understanding this correctly.... But based on the below code, wouldn't we first need to do (require 'hi-lock) for the C-x w bindings to work?

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/hi-lock.el?h=emacs-25

Coincidentally, currently a parallel discussion is going on in another emacs-devel thread if we should remove the C-x w prefix map associated to hi-lock. Please check out that thread for the reasoning behind it.

emacs -Q

C-x w  (intending C-x w C-h) responds "C-x w is undefined".

On the other hand,
M-s h C-h displays the bindings in *Help*.

That led me to believe the C-x h bindings had been removed.  It would
appear there's a difference between how the C-x w bindings are set and
how the M-s h bindings are set.
