Re: uppercase->lowercase and function-key-map

    When ESC O H fails to be found in function-key-map and the `H' is
    turned into `h' should `ESC O h' be looked up in function-key-map again ?

    My gut feeling says no and a comment in read_key_sequence agrees:

          /* If the sequence is unbound, see if we can hang a function key
             off the end of it.  We only want to scan real keyboard input
             for function key sequences, so if mock_input says that we're
             re-reading old events, don't examine it.  */

I think that comment is inconclusive.  However, the manual says that
key-translation-map operates on the output from function-key-map
and not vice versa.  That suggests you are right.

    where the `fkey_start = prev_fkey_start' implies that we might rescan
    the new key sequence for function-key-map bindings (whether and
    when this rescan actually happen, I don't really know because the
    code is not the clearest ever).

That could be a bug.  The results of key-translation-map translations
should not be reprocessed through function-key-map.
