I've never used Emacs on Windows, but for a long time after my family
got its first computer I used Windows exclusively, and I remember
thinking I was quite clever when I figured out how to make Ctrl+Alt+I
bring up Internet Explorer no matter where you were. I would have
been annoyed if some application decided to override my custom
binding, when the only thing *it* wanted to do with the key was tell
me "C-M-i is undefined".
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you're not obviously
right. If a key has a meaning in the environment, even a non-standard
meaning, users might *expect* the key to keep that meaning even when
the great and powerful Emacs has keyboard focus.
