The proposal in this thread has little to do with the proposal in the 
"PROPOSAL: Repurpose one key..." thread.  In that proposal it is 
explicitly stated that C-z C-z would be bound to "suspend-frame".  IOW, 
all you'd have to do is to press three keys instead of two to suspend. 
Repeating a key until it produces the desired effect is something terminal 
users are used to do, for example, repeating C-c until the program aborts.
