Really? Why is that?

I happen use "..." all the time except for - let's
see... - keys that I defined myself, as for example:

(define-key input-decode-map [?\u010F] [C-semi-colon])
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-semi-colon>") 'string-to-cmd)

The reason I do "..." is simply it is easier to
type. So if there is some gain switching I'll do that,
of course.
