Yes, there's no rules for binding things under `C-x' -- the users can do
that, but modes are free to bind them, too, which is what gdb does.

I don't think a mode here is necessary -- just defining a submap the
normal way should be sufficient.  So I've now done that in Emacs 29,
which makes the test case no longer bug out.
