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.)
