what concerns me about the chord interface is that the stress issue
is overlooked. i avoid chord-related RSI by carefully avoiding too much
chording on wily. that slows me down, but avoids a much worse situation.
[i gave up emacs years ago because of left-hand control-stress.]

i also wanted to say earlier that sam is fine the way it is. its
popup menu is nearly as fast as chords, and does not appear to
induce stress.
