I don't like that idea because to conform POSIX this switch needs to
be off by default. And then we have another rarely used option which
does not improve the life of the normal users unless someone reads the
manual page completely.
I think it is better to tie this function either into both emacs and
gmacs mode as we now have ^V as general escape mode or add this to the
gmacs mode exclusively. Adding more options is really not what we
want, at least in my opinion.
