Everything in Emacs is a command.  The specific sequences Robert was
talking about eventually insert characters, but they are still a
sequence of key events.  So I'm not sure I understand how you
distinguish between them and what fundamental differences do you see.
Would you like to elaborate on how and why do you perceive these to be
different?

I don't think this case is the most important or the most interesting.
