The idea is not bad, but I doubt that it can be implemented cleanly
given the current speed commands design.

Note that speed commands are not only decided by
org-speed-command-activate. Any function in org-speed-command-hook can
trigger speed command. Throwing an error in org-speed-command-activate
can potentially shadow other functions in the hook.
