Set emacs “Meta” key to be the mac ⌘ key

This is what I have in my .emacs file: ;;; I prefer cmd key for meta (setq mac-option-key-is-meta nil mac-command-key-is-meta t mac-command-modifier 'meta mac-option-modifier 'none) (If you're unfamiliar, just add these lines to the file ~/.emacs (or create it if it doesn't exist), and restart Emacs.)
