Sure, and we have many others that mean "get me out of here".
Probably should support more than just one extra.

Btw, if I leave CAPS LOCK stuck and type C-g, I do get Quit.  So I
don't think I understand the bug report.  You explicitly pressed C-S-g
in your recipe, but that's not really reasonable in my book -- the
user explicitly pressed Shift, a much less innocent mistake.
