* bug#67182: 29.1; read-kbd-macro always return a vector

This is the code I was always using in Emacs to send raw keys
to modes like ansi-term:

(defun raw (str)
  (interactive "sSend Raw Key: ")
  (term-send-raw-string (read-kbd-macro str)))

But this doesn't work anymore it throw an error [3] when calling:

(raw "C-c")

According to documentation `C-h f read-kbd-macro`
"The result will be a string if possible" but it seems that in new
GNU Emacs it's always a vector.

Thanks.

Stefan, this is due to your change in edmacro-parse-keys as part of
commit 87789330, whose log message says nothing about
edmacro-parse-keys.  Did you really intend to make that
backward-incompatible change?  If so, why?

The above code already threw the same error when you call

    (raw "C-<mouse-1>")
or
    (raw "M-a")
or
    (raw "é")

:-(

Maybe it should be something like

    (defun raw (str)
      (interactive "sSend Raw Key: ")
      (let ((keys (kbd str))
            (string (condition-case err
                        (concat "" keys)
                      (wrong-type-argument
                       (let ((elem (nth 2 err)))
                         (error "%s is not a character"
                                (if (numberp elem)
                                    (prin1-char elem)
                                  elem)))))))
        (term-send-raw-string string)))

?

Yes.  I want to eliminate the use of strings that stand for a sequence
of events because it does nothing more than leave latent bugs and create
confusion (between the strings used as input to `read-kbd-macro` and the
strings that used to be output by `read-kbd-macro`), while increasing
the complexity of the rest of the code which has to handle both vectors
and strings.

Then maybe the documentation for the function should be updated and in
changelog there is should a note about this breaking change.

Done on the emacs-29 branch, and closing the bug.
