Mainly because I did not know the depths of emacs and what to do with
key-translation-map and getting annoyed with something happening without me
asking for it and being totally surprised by the change in bindings especially
as I thought users had complete control of A- bindings, only C-x were reserved
for emacs use. (Ie I had not require iso-trans myself)
I have now undone the iso-trans changes as Gregory suggested
(dolist (transl-char iso-transl-char-map)
(let ((vec (vconcat (car transl-char))))
(aset vec 0 (logior (aref vec 0) ?\A-\^@))
(define-key key-translation-map vec nil)))))
