So what? Why a GUI user should be inconvenienced or prevented to bind
C-i, C-[, etc. to whatever he pleases the same way he binds any other
key combination? You can't bind C-[ on a terminal, because there is a
technical limitation, ok. But why you can't bind it either on a GUI,
where the technical limitation does not exist?
