    In general, I think it would be nice if define-key would issue an
    error message when making a meaningless binding (i.e. for a symbol
    which cannot occur as an event).  Unfortunately, I don't know how to
    make such a test i general - and I don't see why DEL or TAB should
    have special treatment here...

You're asking for a kind of special treatment for them.  If we decide
to give them special treatment, there's no sense rejecting this option
just because it would be special treatment.

I wrote the code to detect this as an error.  It was under 15 lines long.
