Historical note: keystrokes and characters have been confused, since they are somewhat indistinguishable on a tty. The default (fallback) binding of a character should be self-insert-key (except without the need to hack the ascii-character property). This should be overridable by the user, both to change the global fallback binding and to change a binding for a particular character. You need to be careful to make this work with isearch. Of course, lots more thinking should be done before anyone starts hacking on this.
