 Using esc-map is not any easier and it really degrades the generalness
 of this method.
 
 The intent is NOT to simply redefine the ] key to be an ESC key.
 
 I already have a large number of ESC- sequences defined, either through
 the Sun hot keys (L1-L10, F1-F12, R1-R15 which generate those ESC-[nnn
 sequences) or my own ESC-alpha definitions for short-cuts.
 
 I want ] to be my own personal prefix that I can define in any manner
 that I want without worrying about overridding or getting overridden by
 any other existing esc-maps.
 
 What this method does is make ] into it's own, separate prefix which
 acts like ESC, but is not ESC.  It is quite separate from any ESC
 sequences.  Essentially it doubles the number of prefixed hot keys that
 are available.  It also reflects my distaste for long CTL-c sequences.
 
 And ] is available in this definition by simply typing ]].  Since I
 very rarely have the need to type ], it's not a problem for my needs.
 If you wanted, you could define any other plain key you wanted in this
 manner.
