I can't see any evidence the binding was there in 4.0 (I'm actually
looking at the end of the 4.0 line, though I very much doubt a change
like this would have appeared in the middle).  The binding was there
in 3.0.  Are you sure it wasn't an even older zsh?

I tend to agree about this.  If I remember, there were some purist
mutterings a few years ago about vi insert mode and it was optimised for
"real vi users", so escape bindings were removed.  The main gain was
that there was no delay after typing Escape to leave insert mode (see
documentation of KEYTMOUT).  I doubt this was worth the annoyance caused.

This should put things back, I think.
