I see. Yes, thanks. (You meant that,
unlike changing C-+/-, it wouldn't be
backward incompatible.)

OK, but it won't help with a habit of using
`C-+/-' to zoom. That was my point here.

That might be an argument for switching to `s-+/-'
_instead_ of `C-x C-+/-' (familiarity, at least
for Sublime users). But I don't see how it argues
for having both, by default.
> BTW, we have more than two such keys:

Yes. And the `C-0' behavior would still be
needed, using some key sequence.
Which is (IMO) another argument against using
`C-+' and `C--'. `C-x' followed by `C--',
`C-0' or `C-+' kinda makes sense (mnemonic).
Where would we put the `C-0' behavior, for
the proposal to change to `C-+/-'?
Likewise, for convenience, a `s-=' alias
would also still be needed/wanted for `s-+',
for the same reason - no need to use `Shift'.
So we would be talking about some key (maybe
`s-0'?) for what `C-x C-0' does, plus
sacrificing `s-+', `s-=', and `s--'. So four
keys.
Plus apparently keeping `C-x C--', `C-x C-0',
`C-x C-+', and `C-x C-='.
