I am a little annoyed by it. I typically type "C-c", realize I am not
ready to do a command yet, and hit C-g to cancel. I'm accustomed to
C-g being a safe way to stop what I'm doing in emacs. Triggering a
Lisp interrupt isn't what I have in mind.

In what situations is it useful? Perhaps there's a new mode of usage I
could learn...
