I really think that `file-name-shadow-mode' (in CVS Emacs) should be
on by default.  That way people would likely discover that feature by

I seem to recall that I have used Emacs for more than a year before I
read about it in an Emacs newsgroup.  I mean: who has the whole Emacs
manual in his or her mind?
