It all depends on how you want the remapping to behave.  Do you want
this remapping only within Emacs?  Do you want it to apply to things
like C-{ and M-}?  How about C-x { ?

I personally prefer to do those kinds of "inconvenient keyboard" things
globally by choosing another keyboard layout (e.g. with
gnome-keyboard-properties).
