Thanks. I've read this before, but the list seems pretty arbitrary.

I don't know of any minor mode that uses the prefix `C-c #' (because it 
requires you to press Shift).

The rule says using other sequences is also allowed, so in practice, I 
think we'll just have a problem with, again, Rinari, which also binds 
`C-c '' as its prefix.

We could ask them to limit themselves to `C-c ;' by default, or, I 
guess, use prefix `C-c C-t' for all commands here.
