Is this documented somewhere? (Except the documentation for that
function)
It's in the "lispref" Info file, under:
System Interface -> Terminal Input -> Input Modes
It isn't in the "xemacs" Info file.
However, I probably wouldn't have found it from the documentation
either. I looked at the source code, starting with character_to_event.
Personally, I think that the default is wrong. But if it were to be
changed, people who have come to rely upon XEmacs working around their
terminal misconfiguration will probably complain.
