Eli, I am not sure if you saw my earlier message with the second
proposed patch taking into account your feedback from yesterday.
Apologies for any confusion I caused.

Robert raised some valid points in his reply about it:

1. it does not describe accurately the arguments accepted by the old API:
lisp strings and vectors of input events are missing. I think that
pointing the users to the reference manual is enough to remedy this.

2. The syntax accepted by the new API and 'kbd' is not explicit. This
is, I believe, a more serious issue. I don't think that the previous
versions of the manual had an explicit description of it at this point,
but since we are re-examining the section anyway, we should write a few
words. I adapted the description Robert wrote in his e-mail (thank you
Robert!).

I am attaching the patch with these changes.

Panos.
