The main reason for allowing the symbol name in the first place was
that it is marginally more efficient in command_loop_1 to call
Fkey_binding and thus Flookup_key with a symbol name (the command
found by read_key_sequence), rather than building a 2-element vector
[command CMD] and using that to call Fkey_binding.

But I agree this is not clean, so I'll change that as well.
