Encoded-kdb-mode is designed to convert raw-byte event
sequence into character event sequence by utilizing keymap
look-up mechanism. So, it creates key-translation-map that
maps raw-byte events to proper commands or to deeper maps.
To make it handle a raw-byte event with modifers, we must
create key-bindings for all combinations of modifiers. It
may leads to combinatorial-explosion. We may be able to
catch all events by [t], but that requires another event
parsing state (extract modifiers from the event, remember it
in some variable, delete modifiers from the event, feed it
again to key-translation-map, modify the last character
event generator to handle the remembered modifiers, etc).
Another anxiety is for those Windows user who have already
found this workaround:
(global-set-key [?\M-\351] ...)
If we make [?\M-é] work for Windows now, the above setting
stops working. I think people accept such a breakage more
tolerantly if the change is for emacs-unicode.
