Well, for now I don't use the \C-c prefix, so blowing that away with
'smart-copy is good enough for now. Took forever to find this but,
here it goes:

;; assure that the \C-c isn't a prefix and, instead, performs a smart-
copy
(setq overriding-local-map
  (let
          ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
                (suppress-keymap map)
                (define-key map "\C-c" 'smart-copy)
                map
        )
)

Pain in the butt, and it doesn't bother to remap the "\C-c" prefix,
but that can be done by those that really need it.
