TAB is a complicated issue in Emacs, unfortunately.
"C-TAB" is just a different way to write "C-i", because TAB and C-i are
the same in most terminals.
If you want to bind the C-<tab> key stroke, you have to specify it as
such. (And it won't work in most terminals, only in GUI Emacs.)
(key-valid-p "C-TAB") could signal an error to help lessen the
confusion, I guess? (And C-RET and C-LFD.) Anybody got an opinion
here?
