*All* keys are available for binding.  The only thing that really matters in
this respect is whether the user uses the predefined binding or not.
If not, then the key is available, regardless of whether the associated
command is useless or not.

E.g. the user is free to rebind C-M-t to anything she wants.  I wouldn't do
it because I often use this binding, but if she doesn't then I see no reason
for her not to do it.
