bug#57529: 28.1; `C-c C-x' prefix key and keymap, `C-c C-x C-h'

Dunno, but this seems like a bug (you decide):

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/73390/

`C-c' is a prefix key bound to `mode-specific-map', but it seems to be
set up in C source code.  `C-c C-x' is apparently defined (unlike, say,
`C-c C-x 4') as a prefix key, but it's not clear what its keymap is (and
it's apparently empty by default).

Dunno what changes should be made, to make clear to users what the story
is - why, for example, `C-c C-x' just waits for another key, even though
there's no such key defined in the keymap.

Maybe this is a more general "problem", for empty prefix keys?  Or is it
a result of the prefix being defined in C?
