Following some mails I got:

The 8-bit patch I've posted doesn't do the same as setting ctl-arrow to
something non-nil and non-t (the ``standard'' 8-bit patch):

1) Codes greater than 127 are not understood as Meta-Keys: you don't need to
   quote them. If your keyboard generate these codes (for example a French
   Azerty keyboard), no kind of extra mapping is needed.
2) Upcase and downcase functions handle these characters correctly.
3) So do backward-word and forward-word
4) So do isearch (quite useful! :)
5) And maybe some other ones.
5) You can type them anywhere, even in the minibuffer
