It isn't so easy on my keyboard, where C-+ requires to press Shift.

Also, this is not what other applications out there provide for this
purpose, they provide C-mouse-wheel.  We already have "C-x C-+"
(actually, "C-x C-=", as pressing Shift is unnecessary) and its
counterpart "C-x C--", which are easy enough and don't get in the way
of other bindings.  How many different bindings do we need to have for
such an infrequent command?
