I think Stephen was right. There will not be more trouble using `C-x
C-j' because the keys on C-x can be moved by moving Control-X-prefix.

So I have no objections. I would rather see that we implement
something like Control-X-prefix for all prefix keys. That would
finally open up for moving C-x for those who wants it.
