That's correct. That code might be an overkill for people who never needed
org entities.
I thought that I have never used `C-u` before plain single characters, so
why not make use of that in org mode. With that code in place, inserting an
org entity is now C-u away :)
If I happen to need org entities for nonascii chars, I can associate them
to plain letters like `a`, `b`, `c`... in org-entities-user. For example,
`C-u c` can be used to enter copyright symbol org entity.
I haven't yet used `sgml-name-char`, thanks for the tip.
