I would add: 

    -  apropos (GNU emacs's apropos seems ancient)

    -  list-matching-lines: when cursor is on word, this word is offered
       as the search expression. GNU emacs still does not have this
       feature. I think I will ask in devel about it, or Michael are you
       planning anyhow to send a feature proposal list to emacs devel?

    -  change-log-exit: ours returns back to the original buffer and
       precisely at the place where I used change-log-exit. I have a
       workaround for this in GNUS using defadvice, but my solution
       sucks. I proposed that on emacs devel was considered as being
       interesting but then nothing happened, Xemacs implementation can
       not be used, since it uses bury-buffer which is a built-in function.
