It's wickedly difficult to apply those maps correctly.
The only sane way to do that it to reuse the `read-key-sequence` code,
which is why I wrote `read-key` in the first place.

I think the only sane way forward is to work on top of
`read-key-sequence`, and more specifically to start using `read-key`
much more extensively and when bumping into problems to try and fix them
in `read-key` rather than retreating to some ad-hoc hack.
