umm... there seems to be a problem with this solution.

Suppose i defined Meta+t for Meta+Tab.
When i do Alt+x describe-key on Meta+t, i get

M-t runs the command #[nil "\300\301\302!!\207" [call-interactively
key-binding [134217737]] 3 nil nil]
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function.
It is bound to M-t.

Is there a more robust solution?
