It's available in vi mode, as "_".  I've been thinking of adding it to
input mode as well.  Does anyone have any opinions/thoughts about how
to do this?  Right now I'm just using Control-blah to do stuff.  For
example, I'm using C-f to complete, C-e to list completions and C-x to
do a vi-style * completion of the current word.  I've been trying to
think of a good place to hang rl_re_read_init_file, since C-r is taken
for history searching.

(at least) Two choices:
	1. Continue using up control chars.  Is there much use for them
	   besides special chars?
	2. Use another keymap, bound to C-x maybe.  This will leave
	   most of the control chars free.
It's impossible to use M-blah since this is often emulated as ESC-blah
on terminals with not META key.  1.04 has gotten rid of the META
keymap associated with vi mode, which caused lots of problems among
diehard vi users.
