    Eh?  But Emacs by default already does bind
    infamously country-specific keys to general
    uses e.g:

    overwrite-mode is on insert
    abort-recursive-edit is on C-]
    ESC is on C-[

None of those keys is country-specific as far as I know.  C-[ and C-]
are ASCII characters.  INSERT is a function key.  I don't think it is
country-specific, and it is certainly not a letter (we were talking
about country-specific *letters*).
