1. If keybindings are changed, the same keyboard macro may mean
different operations. Shall it be correct to convert a keyboard
macro to Lisp code that does exactly the same things as in the old
keybindings, or to convert a keyboard according to new keybindings?
It should convert based on the current key bindings.
So if you typed C-f, it should call forward-char.
2. Even if keybindings are not changed, the same keyboard macro may
mean different operations for different major modes and/or minor
modes. Does each mode need a conversion?
Again, it should operate based on the current bindings.
The point is to produce nice-looking Lisp code
that could be a good start for hand-editing.
