Right, it was shift, not Meta! Yes, Mastro is right.

This

    (global-set-key [C-tab] 'insert-four-spaces)

works for me as well. The reason I put it the other
way is I first put it this way:

    (global-set-key [C-TAB] 'insert-four-spaces)

And then it says:

    To bind the key C-TAB, use [?\\C-\\t], not [C-TAB]

But neither, nor

    (global-set-key [?\C-\t]   'insert-four-spaces)
    (global-set-key [?\\C-\\t] 'insert-four-spaces)

works what I can see (and the second don't even eval).

What does it mean?

Yes, of course, I thought that was self-evident.
Ehm... Anyway, another way to do it is to `defvar'
the cmake-mode-map, and then set the keys up in
a hook. Like this, but not with IELM but cmake:

(defvar ielm-map)

;; (setq ielm-mode-hook nil) ; use to reset hook
(defun ielm-mode-hook-f ()
  (let ((the-map ielm-map))
    (define-key the-map "\C-xk" 'bury-buffer)
    (define-key the-map "\C-p"  'comint-previous-input)
    (define-key the-map "\C-n"  'comint-next-input) ))
(add-hook 'ielm-mode-hook 'ielm-mode-hook-f)
