Patch implements: for control key sequences, disallow combination with
length more than 2 characters and for meta key sequences, disallow
combination with length more than 3 characters. Regarding testing, I
did that by classifying inputs: few of F, ^ and M-, tested Space, Ins,
and Del combination everywhere.

Would it be better if we also disallow meta sequences where '-' is
missing and function key with more than 2 digits after 'F'?
