After trying it a bit, `C-x c' is indeed a bit easier to type than
`C-x x', but as Eli says, it's a bit more dangerous...  At least
`C-x C-x' is a harmless command.

But speaking of `C-c' -- I just tried `C-c C-h' (to get a list of
bindings under `C-c'), and all I got was:

Global Bindings Starting With C-c:
key             binding
---             -------

And nothing more.  Same for `C-c C-x C-h'.  And it's this way in Emacs
25.1, too...
