  Yes, C-c p and C-c n are massively annoying, but rebinding them to M-p
  and M-n is really quite simple.  You're _supposed_ to make your own
  bindings that fit your own needs in Emacs, so while not excessively
  sympathetic to your plight, I agree that the default should be more in
  line with other packages.

  I can't live without the multiple listeners and the background streams
  in eli, nor without any of the other support for multiprocessing in
  the same Lisp image.  Last I checked, ilisp couldn't deal with
  multiprocessing at all, possibly because CMUCL and CLISP don't have
  real multiprocessing so there is no need for it there.
