22.1.50; Augmenting Emacs Keybindings To Match Included Packages?

[raman]

This is a suggestion more than a bug,
and mostly motivated by a selfish desire to reduce the size of my
.emacs over time.

As Emacs comes to bundle more packages, it would be nice to have
their entry points bound to  convenient / somewhat-standard keys.

As an example, now that wdired is bundled with emacs, it would be
nice for dired or perhaps dired-x  to bind in wdired's entry
point?

Also, I've long bound   M-r to replace-string 
but looking in the info manual, I see that Emacs does not bind
replace-string to any key by default -- which I find somewhat
surprizing.
