What's wrong with "C-- C-x o" (or "C-u - C-x o" if you are on a
text-mode terminal)?

We don't have too many free key sequences, so "wasting" one on
something that can be easily achieved via an existing binding is not a
good idea, IMO.

Of course, you can always make this binding in your own configuration.
What I wrote above is about the default bindings -- I see no
justification to change that.
