My bad about that. Much of what I wrote in the bug report is still true, but the
part about kbd is no longer true (good).

I copied the text I has sent as a mail to emacs-devel in August of 2008 (to
which I got no reply), and at that time what I said about kbd etc. was indeed
true (for CVS Emacs).

Please read the whole bug report, and filter out whatever has been fixed since
then.
