Very good point, there are cases where `C-z` needs to be repeated
(e.g. to suspend editing a commit message in "Zile launched by Git" ;-)
I usually consider those as bugs, but it does make `C-z C-z` into
a viable option. Obviously, not a good option if you want to bind `C-z`
to `undo` but viable if you want to use `C-z` for a new keymap ;-)
