Actually, I went ahead an made the changes in a fully transparent way.
This means that internally, remapping command FOO to BAR is stored as
a binding for [command FOO], i.e. the "event" `command' is bound to a 
keymap in which FOO is mapped to BAR.

But the interface to define-key, lookup-key and key-binding hasn't
changed.  They just take FOO as the KEY argument - which is still an
unambuguous way to represent command remapping, as those functions
don't otherwise accept a symbol as the KEY argument.  

The changes are very small, so I expect to commit them later this
evening.
