Good suggestion, John.  I've been setting these via C-c C-x p.

On of my computers has a UK keyboard.  As I remember it '<' is
annoying to get to (shift-, I think).  '[' is annoying on a Danish
keyboards ("Right M"-8).

In any case, why not stick with a key that almost surely doesn't
require a modifier?  It's probably not as logically pleasing as your
suggestion, but still. . .
