Leaving the feature as an option to the change-folder command makes more sense to me, too. A user would presumably settle on a preference for "next unread mailbox" or the current "first unread mailbox" behavior of the change-folder command, so I don't understand the utility of a new function. As for the benefit to new users, I think new users would benefit from not having yet another means to change folders/mailboxes.
