For CURSOR KEYS?  Come on, they're ARROWS, for pete's sake.  There's
no reason that they should not be enabled by default, EVEN IF VISUAL
is unset and neither "-o emacs" nor "-o vi" have been set.

Now, if you're talking functionality (i.e. do you have to explicitly
append or insert), I think "insert-nonmodally-at-point" would adhere to
the POLS.
