 It's never been entirely clear to me why the macro `kbd'
exists,
 except perhaps for cross-Emacs portability. 
Because introducing symbols like C-S-space is very very ugly and
because the strings are already taken for and old incompatible syntax.

What is also very inconsistent is that the vector notation (which I
like in general) takes symbols for the names of some keys and
characters for others. IMHO it should be either "A" or [(shift a)]
