define key with "\s-" super modifier in string?

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

With CVS emacs, I get

    (global-set-key "\s-n" 'compile)

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Key sequence SPC - n uses invalid 
prefix characters")
    ...

Is this a bug?

I can understand what sort of thing happens, and

    (global-set-key [?\s-n] 'compile)

works, but it isn't very friendly eps. as the documentation has
examples using strings, eg

     (global-set-key "\C-z" 'shell)

The documentation mentions exceptions, but does not include \s

       When the key sequence includes function keys or mouse button
   events, or non-ASCII characters such as `C-=' or `H-a', you must
   use the more general method of rebinding, which uses a vector to
   specify the key sequence.
