As I explained, it doesn't "stick" to it, in the sense that it is
not hardcoded.

For example you can remove the `escape` => ESC mapping from function-key-map.
And even without that, you can simply add bindings to `escape` and they
will be used when you hit `escape` but not when you hit C-[

See also https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/17509 where I show
some other possibility (tho in the context of `tab` vs `C-i` vs TAB, but
which is exactly the same problem).
