Uhm...

(defun foo () "foo")

(execute-kbd-macro 'foo)

->

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Keyboard macros must be strings or 
vectors")
  execute-kbd-macro(foo)
  eval((execute-kbd-macro (quote foo)) nil)

(execute-kbd-macro "foo")
-> foo

(execute-kbd-macro ["f"])
->
After 0 kbd macro iterations: undefined: Keyboard macro terminated by a command 
ringing the bell

What kind of vector is this talking about?

It's kinda confusing all over.
