FWIW, I don't agree that _any_ keys should be bound
by default for such a command.
Do not add a new command and immediately give it a
default key binding. That makes little sense.
Let user experience guide spending/wasting default
keys. Users can bind the command to any key they
like. If it becomes super popular, and if there are
good reasons at that point to give it a default key,
then you can take into account the keys that users
at that point say they like for it.
Emacs has survived well for 40 years without such a
command. Just because someone asks for it now is
not a reason that it deserves a default key binding.
There are tons of keys that deserve bindings before
this one does.
Binding this new command to a default key is just
irrational exuberance.
