It would be nice if, after foregrounding an emacs that has been paused
with ^G^G, quit-flag were set to t.  As it is now, if something like
(let ((inhibit-quit t)) (while t)) happens, ^G^G will get you out of
emacs, but there is no way of getting back to top-level.  (Not that I
condone binding inhibit-quit, mind you...)

Maybe this should only happen when the ^G^G handler is entered twice
consecutively.

Another request: I really wish ^G^G had some effect under X11!  I realize
there is no good way yo suspend the job, but couldn't it go directly to
the "autosave? dump core?" prompts?  

Maybe there should be a third prompt, "abort to top-level?" if the user
chooses not to dump core.
