Oh, I don't doubt you're right, but, from the point of view of a user,
it's weird that asking for a remaping says nil when there aren't remap
entries, and error when there are...

Thanks.

This will make Luc's patch fail for me...

After Luc's (or your's) patch, with cua-mode enabled, if I do:

[f3] "pepe" home [f4]     ; define macro that inserts "pepe" and goes to
                          ; the beginning of line
C-x C-k b M-z             ; assign it to M-z
C-h k M-z                 ; see it

I get "Key sequence contains invalid event", not the C-h k output.
