 1.4.8 Some Miscellaneous Commands
 ---------------------------------
 
 `re-read-init-file (C-x C-r)'
      Read in the contents of the INPUTRC file, and incorporate any
      bindings or variable assignments found there.
 
 `abort (C-g)'
      Abort the current editing command and ring the terminal's bell
      (subject to the setting of `bell-style').
 
 `do-uppercase-version (M-a, M-b, M-X, ...)'
      If the metafied character X is lowercase, run the command that is
      bound to the corresponding uppercase character.
 
 `prefix-meta (<ESC>)'
      Metafy the next character typed.  This is for keyboards without a
      meta key.  Typing `<ESC> f' is equivalent to typing `M-f'.
 
 `undo (C-_ or C-x C-u)'
      Incremental undo, separately remembered for each line.
 
 `revert-line (M-r)'
      Undo all changes made to this line.  This is like executing the
      `undo' command enough times to get back to the beginning.
 
 `tilde-expand (M-~)'
      Perform tilde expansion on the current word.
 
 `set-mark (C-@)'
      Set the mark to the point.  If a numeric argument is supplied, the
      mark is set to that position.
 
 `exchange-point-and-mark (C-x C-x)'
      Swap the point with the mark.  The current cursor position is set
      to the saved position, and the old cursor position is saved as the
      mark.
 
 `character-search (C-])'
      A character is read and point is moved to the next occurrence of
      that character.  A negative count searches for previous
      occurrences.
 
 `character-search-backward (M-C-])'
      A character is read and point is moved to the previous occurrence
      of that character.  A negative count searches for subsequent
      occurrences.
 
 `insert-comment (M-#)'
      Without a numeric argument, the value of the `comment-begin'
      variable is inserted at the beginning of the current line.  If a
      numeric argument is supplied, this command acts as a toggle:  if
      the characters at the beginning of the line do not match the value
      of `comment-begin', the value is inserted, otherwise the
      characters in `comment-begin' are deleted from the beginning of
      the line.  In either case, the line is accepted as if a newline
      had been typed.
 
 `dump-functions ()'
      Print all of the functions and their key bindings to the Readline
      output stream.  If a numeric argument is supplied, the output is
      formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an INPUTRC
      file.  This command is unbound by default.
 
 `dump-variables ()'
      Print all of the settable variables and their values to the
      Readline output stream.  If a numeric argument is supplied, the
      output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an
      INPUTRC file.  This command is unbound by default.
 
 `dump-macros ()'
      Print all of the Readline key sequences bound to macros and the
      strings they output.  If a numeric argument is supplied, the
      output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an
      INPUTRC file.  This command is unbound by default.
 
 `emacs-editing-mode (C-e)'
      When in `vi' command mode, this causes a switch to `emacs' editing
      mode.
 
 `vi-editing-mode (M-C-j)'
      When in `emacs' editing mode, this causes a switch to `vi' editing
      mode.
