[2] Telling people not to use C-c without suggesting an alternative
is promoting chaos. How shall you set your keybindings? Just pick
some other prefix key that you're sure isn't in use? They're mighty
scarce.
As I understand it (I can't point to any reference), the key-space is
allocated like this:
C-c LETTER is reserved for users' customizations
C-c <anything else> is reserved for special packages and major modes
<everything else> is reserved for core Emacs
Note that the "C-c non-letter" space need not have agreement between
packages, because typically you only have one active at a time. Keys
of the form "C-c C-letter" are common here, but "C-c ;" is part of
this space, too.
