Subject: 26.2; (elisp) Interactive Codes, for `K'

This is what it says:

'K'
     A key sequence, whose definition you intend to change.  This works
     like 'k', except that it suppresses, for the last input event in
     the key sequence, the conversions that are normally used (when
     necessary) to convert an undefined key into a defined one.

That's inadequate.  In this node you have no idea what "the conversions
that are normally used (when necessary) to convert an undefined key into
a defined one" are, or even what that phrase means.

Either such conversions need to be described here or, if they are
described in some other node then please add a cross-reference to that
node.  Otherwise, there is no way for us to understand what `K' is/does.

I couldn't even find a description of such conversion by starting with
the parent node and searching for "conve".  But I don't claim to have
studied the full context of each search hit.
