Rebinding CTRL-ALT-[C|V] to CTRL-SHIFT-[C|V] in URxvt >= 9.20

Since URxvt 9.20, text can be copied to the clipboard with Ctrl+Alt+C (and also pasted from with Ctrl+Alt+V). But, I already use these bindings for another thing. So how can I rebind, in URxvt >=9.20 it to Ctrl+Shift+C (and Ctrl+Shift+V for paste) ?
