This is all completely OT, but... using <ctrl-b> is an absolute
non-starter as it's an emacs-mode editing character.  I've been using
screen for almost two decades now.  The lack of quick access to screens
past 9 is somewhat annoying, but I can live with that.  Same with
buffers.  So I doubt I'll switch, but I may give it a try sometime just
to see.
