Irrelevant. I did not propose anything about `C-='.
I mentioned that I, personally, use `C-=' as a prefix key, taking advantage of
the mnemonic value of `='.
The point was that `M-=' could be used as a prefix key (or bound to a repeatable
command). And that makes more sense than wasting `M-=' on `count-words-region'.
This thread is about `M-='.
And `M-=' is usable in a text terminal.
