Handa, could you take a look at the feasibility of moving the
decode_keyboard_code to a later stage such that read-event still returns
raw bytes for ttys?
There is a tension here, because raw events in GUIs are already decoded,
whereas raw events in ttys are just bytes. You "fixed it" by decoding
tty input in directly in tty_read_avail_input, so that read-event now
always returns decoded input, but that in turns means that read-event
doesn't return raw events any more. The decoding is desirable for
read-key-sequence (and maybe also for read-char, tho I don't care much
about this case since read-key is generally a better replacement) but
not for read-event, since access to raw events is important for things
like xt-mouse.el.

This doc is out of date, indeed.
