I think without any letter is better than trying to find suitable
letters whose mnemonics is not obvious.

  (interactive
    (list
      (progn
        (handle-delete-region 'supersede)
        current-prefix-arg)))

is not hard to use for a few commands.

Wouldn't it be even better to allow using symbols in the interactive spec?
Something like (combining symbols and existing letters):

  (interactive '(delete-region-supersede "p"))
