I use C-o very, very often, to the point that i am sure that i will
pretty soon rebind it to its former meaning (and lose easy accesibility
to the new map, most possibly to my disadvantage, but old habits die
hard).  Something similar happened to me with M-g, if memory serves, but
admittedly here the fact that repeating it "will work" might ameliorate
my reaction.
