Not much of an argument for me since the very first time I tried
to use this without a custom keymap, POLA was violated.  I *expect*
that to be my META key and evidently so do a number of other folks.

Now if you want to argue this from a *precedent* vs POLA perspective
then I'll give LALT full marks for precedence.  If a compromise could
be reached which would leave this as META for us emacs users (and
trust me, LALT is *the* key we need it to be - nothing else is
situated as well on the keyboard as a modifier) let still act the same
when mated with a function key, I'd be all for it.
