`s-<c>` is the syntax generated by `key-description` and understood by
`kbd` (and the new set of functions like` key-valid-p` and
`define-keymap`) but it is not understood by `define-key`,
`global-set-key`, and friends, for which you need to use the lower-level
vector syntax:

    (global-set-key [?\s-c] 'my-command)
    (global-set-key [s-tab] 'my-other-command)
    ...
