How do I bind `C-s' and `C-q' (or any key) if these keys are filtered out?
==========================================================================

   To bind `C-s' and `C-q', use either `enable-flow-control' or
`enable-flow-control-on'.  Note: Handling C-s and C-q with flow
control, for usage and implementation details.

   To bind other keys, use `keyboard-translate'.  Note: Swapping
keys, for usage details.  To do this for an entire site, you should
swap the keys in `site-lisp/site-start.el'.  Note: Handling C-s and C-q
with flow control, for an explanation of why `site-lisp/default.el'
should not be used.

   * If you do this for an entire site, the users will be confused by
     the disparity between what the documentation says and how Emacs
     actually behaves.
