I believe Emacs discourages keybindings with capital letters, since it
can cause surprising results if the user has Caps Lock on. In this case,
Caps Lock being on would cause "C-x o" to behave "backwards".
I don't know if this is a firm rule, but we should at least take it into
account. (Of course, there's nothing stopping you from adding this
keybinding for your own configuration.)
