Oh, I see. But is not that quite confusing? There might be many ways to 
generate an event (I actually do not know), but when I see "foo is bound 
to M-c, ..." I believe that when I hit M-c Emacs will call foo. I 
suspect most users will expect the same.

Is not key-translation-map a simple case? Can't this be checked in help?
