I believe there is a confusion then: those bindings are not for specific
characters but for so-called "generic characters" which cover a whole
charset at a time. So the description is correct in the sense
that which is
bound is the whole charset rather than just one of the chars.
Right - Handa has explained that. Actually, IIUC, it is not the whole char
set, but just a generic char that is bound to self-insert-command. So, the
single-key description could be more precise and mention the character
group, but it cannot, in any case, describe a single character. I didn't
understand that originally.
It does
suffer from the bug you mentioned, tho: it can't be parsed back by kbd.
Yes, and, from what I think I understand, maybe it shouldn't be bound to
self-insert-command - see my previous email.
