bug#1111: describe-key's key notation display inconsistency

When doing a describe-key on C-<backspace>, emacs prints <C- backspace> instead. Similar for any other special key whose macro notation are bracketed by angle brackets. e.g. <down>, <F6>, <return>, <kp-1>, etc. Where, emacs puts the entire thing inside angle brackets instead of the more traditional of modifier followed by dash followed by key name.

Although these are identical as far as kbd function is concerned, but wouldn't it be more intuitively consistent by using C-<key> instead of <C-key>?

Thanks.
