Neat!

The documentation for the `global-set-key` function, at least in 
24.5.3 and in the emacs-25 branch as at d9ea7950, doesn't mention 
this possibility:

   (global-set-key KEY COMMAND) 

   Give KEY a global binding as COMMAND.  COMMAND is the command 
   definition to use; usually it is a symbol naming an 
   interactively-callable function.

Perhaps it should be modified to refer to COMMAND-OR-VECTOR?
