   I found that C-x isn't bound to anything per default. C-x is almost as
   easy to type as C-d so I added it to my $HOME/.inputrc:

	   C-x:    possible-completions

   Maybe this binding should be default?

Whoops.  In 1.04 C-x is a prefix character for several commands.
One of them is C-x C-r (re-read-init-file).

There are also keyboard macro commands, like C-x ( and C-x ).
