I see that 'c' might clash with a possible future command.
For example, git has a lot of commands whose names start
with the letter 'c': checkout, cherry-pick, clone, commit, ...
So the probability of the need to use 'c' is high.

OTOH, what key would keep the mnemonic of a prefix arg?
Maybe 'C-x v C-u'?
