zap-to-char:
Kill up to (but not including) ARG'th occurrence of CHAR.
...goes to end of buffer if CHAR not found.
This command violates the normal practice of ^G being "quit". (Actually, it
ignores the keyboard-quit [or traps ^G before it can create a quit signal]).
If I try to abort out of zap it looks for ^G, doesn't find it, and kills to
end of buffer. This is bad.
