It is not "very" infrequent, when running Emacs on a tty.  It is
somewhat infrequent.  It wouldn't bother me to type the character
twice on those occasions.

However, C-z and C-c are the standard ways to get out of a program,
and if neither of them works, people will get trapped in it.

If C-z C-z is the way to suspend, and the first C-z (when it echoes)
displays a message such as "To suspend Emacs, type C-z again now",
I think that will enable people to get out.

C-x C-z is not adequate for this.
