The aim with these new functions were to settle on a single syntax for
keys, and the syntax we settled on was the `kbd' one.  You can't
do (keymap-local-set "\C-\M-i" ...) or (keymap-local-set [?\C-\M-i] .. )
or (keymap-local-set [(control meta i)] ...) either -- that was the
whole point of the exercise.
