It's fine if you want to write that and you and the reader know what it
means, but I think most readers would interpret it as "C with A in the
bass" (and why that chord is not called A-minor-seventh, left unclear).
This would be a problem for a system like current LilyPond that insists on
translating it to notes and back, because the internal representation for
the choice is likely to collide with that for a chord which really is "C
with A in the bass"; but it'd be no problem with a system that just
formats and prints what's typed, in which "C/a" can mean anything and the
system doesn't need to interpret it.
