Not really. XEmacs *has* a character type, but that doesn't help us
with this kind of thing, because this is about syntax for describing
keystrokes in Lisp, not about managing characters. And it's not just
backward compatibility.
Our preferred approach is to use the array of chords of keysyms. (Eg
the above would be expressed `[(control +)]'.
