If people think this is a problem, please perhaps file a bug report to
FSF. (Alt+x report-emacs-bug)
There are many diverse solutions on the web, but they need to become
part of emacs out of the box.

I already did. If you see this as a valid point, it'll help. Because,
often, the emacs dev will just think Xah is this weird guy and can be
ignored of his lone voice.
People always just fight than doing anything useful.
In the past 10 years, whenever i wrote some criticism on various lang
or tech, the in-community retort “why don't you file bug report”, or
“why don't you contribute code”, or argue non-stop about some
philosophy or point of view. Usually, its not about the validity of
the criticism, it's more about politics and piss fight.
In the past 2 years, i filed some 30 or so bug reports to FSF on
emacs. I try to refrain opinion based reports or UI based ones,
because i know these are controversial. Because otherwise the
fuckheads will start to say i spam.
Btw, the result of almost all UI ones i reported are either put on the
wish list or dismissed.
In this thread, there are already lots of arguments.
