Having a complete keymap at the disposal of third-party libraries means
that there are (at least) 26 letters free; each of them can be bound to
a separate keymap.
That's still much less than what can be bound to several such prefix
keys.
That's wrong, both from a practical and from a theoretical point of view.
From a practical point of view, the bindings in (B) are not deeper/longer
than the bindings in (A):
| (A) | (B) |
|---------------|---------------|
| C-x j | C-o j |
| C-x j = f | C-o j = f |
| C-x j t . % + | C-o j t . % + |
| C-x 4 j | C-o 4 j |
| C-x x : | C-o x : |
| C-x x t e | C-o x t e |
| C-x x t + b | C-o x t + b |
From a theoretical point of view: the number of available keys is, in both
cases, aleph-zero.
No argument for how you can put lots of stuff on a single prefix key can
overcome the fact that more prefix keys give you more than does one
prefix key.

the rest." (Simon & Garfunkel)
