Hi,

I use swbuff.el for cycling through buffers, and I'd like to be able to
bind M-[ to swbuff-switch-to-previous-buffer like so:

(global-set-key (kbd "M-[") 'swbuff-switch-to-previous-buffer)

However, I can't seem to be able to bind anything to simply M-[.  When I
do describe-key on M-[, it expects another keypress, in the same way
that C-x expects another keypress.

What is the reasoning behind this, and is there any way around it?

Thanks,
Greg
