`z' unused in the summary buffer?  What an oversight.  :-)

I use `u'.  I'm sure there's someone one there using any of the
bindings that exist.  (I'm guessing `i' and `w' are left over from
GNUS 4.1...)

Here's an idea: How about if we unbind a couple of the blatantly silly
single-letter bindings in the summary buffer now (`i' and `w' being
excellent candidates) so that we can bind them at a later point (say,
a few years) to more exciting commands?  In that case I would have no
reservations about handing the `v' over to the users.
