It's not a given that the current state of things must automatically be 
optimal. But of course I can't vouch whether this behavior is optimal 
for every language.

And major modes will continue to be able to rebind these key sequences.

Here's a patch that people can try. From my brief testing, seems useful 
enough. I suppose some might dislike it, though, in some codebases where 
the methods/functions are consistently longer than a screenful. I do 
like this binding in Emacs Lisp too, though.
