I am not sure if the following are really bugs, or just flaws in the
documentation.

1) Under X, the keypad keys are by default translated to ordinary
typing keys via function-key-map (this is set up at the end of
simple.el). If I type ``[kp-0]'' I get ``0''.

If I type the same key on a TTY (vt200), I get a beep.
``C-h k [kp-0]'' says ``kp-0 is undefined''. This happens because
``[kp-0]'' itself is translated from some ESC sequence that was sent
by the terminal, and it seems that the translation by function-key-map
is done only once.

2) The documentation in the Lisp Manual (edition 2.3) says

        * `key-translation-map' goes to work after `function-key-map' is
          finished; it receives the results of translation by
          `function-key-map'.

So I have tried to put a translation for ``[kp-0]'' into
key-translation-map:

   emacs -q RET
   (setq key-translation-map (make-sparse-keymap)) LFD
   (define-key key-translation-map [kp-0] "0") LFD

But on a TTY this has no influence: the key remains undefined.

3) ``[f11]'' is supposed to be the ESC key. If I type it twice, the
command eval-expression is called, but some additional garbage is put
into the minibuffer. A similar thing happens for ``C-x ESC ESC''.
