In case somebody will stumble across this post, the solution that
I found for this is to define another map:
cnoremap <C-b> <C-R>
etc ... . It will not trigger the emacscommand line maps. One just has
to remember to not to use <C-W> while entering things into the
expression register (which is used rarely, so there is not much
opportunity to learn it, and lots of chances to forget it ;)
But this is far from perfect.
Best regards,
Marcin
