This error message, in keymap.c, is unhelpful and inappropriate:
/* If the contents are (KEYMAP . ELEMENT), go indirect. */
else if (KEYMAPP (XCAR (object)))
error ("Wow, indirect keymap entry!!");
else
return object;

So science. Much helpful.

I don't like Emacs (which I like) to issue unhelpful, inappropriate,
crappy error messages. I got the erro message, and it meant nothing
to me.
Users deserve better. Tell us why you do not care.

Maintainers also deserve better. E.g. they deserve to know what you did
to trigger that error.
Stefan "will you learn how to report bugs?"

I'm sorry, but I don't recall from a year ago. And it's possible
that I was not aware at the time just what triggered the error.
As you know, when I can provide a how-it-happened I typically do.
But perhaps the code can tell you how this error is triggered?
And regardless of how the error was raised, why such a message?
