- This is very good! The dots will avoid the need for case sensitivity
- but still allow a * to match several fields at once. Except of course,
- that I think the keys should be on the left side, and the actions on
- the right, as you're mapping keys to actions rather than the other
- way round. See also my digestive of 7th June. 'The other way round'
- also provides a way of definining other things than key shortcuts, such
- as interface appearance and what have we.
