Regardless of the relative merits of EMACS vs. Z, if EMACS has
(for example only) 10,000 users and Z has 1,000, it makes a whole
lot of sense to add features to the monitor to speed up EMACS.
Computer manufacturers don't spend millions of dollars developing
COBOL systems and adding hairy packed-decimal instructions to their
machines because they like COBOL;  they do it because there are
zillions of COBOL users out there.
