Sly uses keybindings of the form "C-c letter" which are reserved for users #526

The default bindings for all of these:

sly-trace-dialog
sly-import-symbol-at-point
sly-export-symbol-at-point
sly-inspect
sly-edit-value

are of the form C-c followed by a letter and the manual asks that packages refrain from using those bindings as they are reserved for users. Major modes are free to use the C-c prefix as long as they follow it with a key that is not a letter, in particular C-c C-letter or C-c M-letter are fine for major modes to use.

Yes, there was recently an issue complaining of the same. These were inherited from SLIME and are in the muscle memory of many long-time users such as me. So, you're right, but "won't fix".

OK. They are of course easy to rebind in users's personal configuration anyway. Thanks for considering the issue!

To get rid of the bindings for sly-import/export-symbol-at-point I wound up advising the function sly-package-fu-init. I wonder if there is a better way.
