Ok, that's a good point.

That's basically the idea I had when I chose M-(left/right).  Firefox,
Chrome, and I'm pretty sure IE use those keys for forward/back.  I
absentmindedly typed Alt+left in Microsoft Visual Something-or-other
and it did what I wanted (switched to the last file I was viewing).  I
figured if people were trying to find the key to go back, that would
be their first guess.

Well, if no one else thinks M-direction is the right choice I can
change to C-c C-(b/f) (and mention them somewhere in the
documentation, since those seem non-obvious to me).  In any case I
should add those bindings for consistency with Help mode.
