OK. How do you propose to do that?
The full text would be:
+Key sequences that consist of @kbd{C-c} followed by a letter (upper or
+lower case) are ``reserved for users,'' and should not conflict with
+any properly designed Emacs extension or Emacs itself.
To me, it seems clear that the agent in this case would be either the
Emacs developers or the package developers.
