But that would be forbidden by the guideline "Don't define 'C-c LETTER' as
a key in Lisp programs", wouldn't it?
(defcustom foobar-global-key "" "Foobar global key in C-c")
...
(if (length foobar-global-key)
(global-set-key (kbd (concat "C-c " foobar-global-key) 'foobar-foo-command)))
If that's allowed, then why not this?
(defcustom foobar-global-key "z" "Foobar global key in C-c")
...
(if (length foobar-global-key)
(global-set-key (kbd (concat "C-c " foobar-global-key) 'foobar-foo-command)))
This is not very different from the first one, and does what the guideline
forbids, but it could be argued that it does not because it does so only
conditionally...

I do not think, I see. Just have a look at the starter kits, or at the
init files of those who make them public. You'll see that there are many
packages that need global keys.
