While that's a nice goal, I'm not sure the alternatives to C-q + MAGIC
are any better...

It seems to me that the having a single magic character would be
reasonable, it's having 27 different magic characters that starts to get
annoying.

So how about "#" as the single magic char, and have "##" to insert a #
character?

I am not sure if I misunderstand you, but having a printable character would IMO be very disturbing since Emacs can be used for so many things.

How about C-M-q as the magig key?
