I will, thank you.

To reiterate, the only regression in this regard is this:

  C-q F1

In previous versions of Emacs, this would pop up a buffer explaining
what C-q expects and what it does.  In the current emacs-24 branch and
the trunk, it momentarily flashes that buffer, and then inserts a null
character, instead of waiting for another key and inserting that.
