Yes, that was kinda the point of the whole keymap-* thing. If there's
one clear syntax, it makes many "but will this work, then?" problems
users have go away -- there's a lot of trial and error involved
currently.
In addition, having one single syntax allows people to grep for bindings
etc -- when exploring the source code, they can isearch for `C-c C-k'
(or whatever) exactly and reliably find the command they're looking for
that way (eventually).
So keymap-local-set and keymap-global-set should be fixed to be strict
again, otherwise there's not much point to the entire `keymap-*'
exercise.
