I think the semantics have always been specified well, and
documented. Have you hit the '?' key to get a brief description of all
of the key bindings? Then you can also run `describe-key' ("C-h k" by
default) and then press a key to get even more thorough documentation.

If anything is not crisp enough there, please let me know and we'll fix
it right away.

I do agree that it's important for us to discuss what the ideal set of
operations is, and I don't claim that we have anything close to that in
the current implementation.

So that's why we're here talking I think. :-)
