I always hate it when a mode overrides a global binding for no good
reason. It gives surprises on the first use. There are quite a few in
Emacs, unfortunately. To name a few:

1. diff-mode binds M-q
2. M-s that was used to search history is overwritten by the new M-s
   prefix. See for example in ielm.
3. Winner mode key bindings are active in minibuffer which makes ido
   fail to perform some of its functions.
