Re-reading the Elisp conventions about keybindings says this:
• Sequences consisting of ‘C-c’ followed by ‘{’, ‘}’, ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘:’
or ‘;’ are also reserved for major modes.
• Sequences consisting of ‘C-c’ followed by any other punctuation
character are allocated for minor modes. Using them in a major
mode is not absolutely prohibited, but if you do that, the major
mode binding may be shadowed from time to time by minor modes.
So C-c { and C-c } are fine in a major mode.
(And now that C-c : is not used anymore, this gives us one more free
keybinding to reuse.)
