This does work, and I do agree with the logic behind it for the most
part, but it also introduces a lack of symmetry.

Meta-\ and Meta-| both currently map to do-first-line because Shift-\
produces |.  Meta-/ and Meta-? both currently map to do-last-line for
the same reason: Shift-/ produces ?.

Given that Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End are yet another set of aliases for
these, changing Meta-| and *not* changing Meta-? seems inconsistent;
with your patch applied, do-last-line has an additional alias that
doesn't match do-first-line.  Maybe assign Meta-? to something else, or
unassign it?
