Those have the additional benefit of corresponding to some of SLIME's
bindings:

  C-c C-d h       slime-hyperspec-lookup
  C-c C-d C-d     slime-describe-symbol
  C-c C-d d       slime-describe-symbol
  C-c C-d C-a     slime-apropos
  C-c C-d a       slime-apropos

I'd assume that there is considerable overlap between the users of the
Emacs Maxima modes and SLIME; and more than once was I surprised to
get some prompt already after C-c C-d in some maxima mode.

BTW, with the exception of h, in SLIME you get the same with or
without the C modifier for the last key, which seems quite handy to
me.
