But assuming they NEVER make mistakes is pretty dumb, too.  IIRC this 
was the (falsetto) reason that slowed down undo for so long.

I don't really think this has anything to do with what key it's 
mapped to.  Whatever key it is, someone is going to hit it and 
accidently and lose work.  Since you don't quit very often, adding a 
failsafe is a very small cost.

Apply the 80/20 rule (80% of problems are due to 20% of the 
causes).  Worry about UI speedups on things you do 100's of times per 
session, like merging verts.  Maybe there should be a "memory" 
version that does it the same as the last time you used
ctrl-m.   That would give the average user 100 fold the time savings 
over anything we could possibly do with quit.
