Well, it shouldn't: that binds a 3-character sequence (M, dash, 7) to left-brace. > This is exactly what I was looking for.

You can bind anything that satisfies commandp, whose doc string says: Interactively callable functions include strings and vectors (treated as keyboard macros), lambda-expressions that contain a top-level call to `interactive', autoload definitions made by `autoload' with non-nil fourth argument, and some of the built-in functions of Lisp. Also, a symbol satisfies `commandp' if its function definition does so. -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
