Yeah, I must admit I've made it so that it's convenient to me.  I
usually define \c|stuff| as a short form of \mintinline[lang]|stuff|,
and then the current behavior is convenient to me because typing \ c |
is even faster that C-c C-f C-l which I defined to insert \c|| here
locally.

Yes.

That's my plan. ;-)
