Yes, definitely don't do that... I suppose the lesson is `next time
around, try and make the C-x 4 one have something to do with the C-x
one...'  [though I don't know the history of this particular case.]
Mmmm... I wouldn't disturb C-x 4 a and C-x a, but perhaps put a note
in the manual acknowledging the incongruity (and noting that this an
example of something to be cautious of when assigning key bindings).
