FWIW, you have my vote for making this happen. I think it's not that
hard to make everyone happy on this subject by the mean of .vimrc
settings, like we have between vi and vim for :set compatible.
Wether we use structures or the byte 80 for special key is
implementation detail, I mean wether macros, mappings or registers
simply store a list of bytes or a list of structures shouldn't change
anything: you just need an explicit mapping between a displayed
keypress and a byte or a struct (<S-Up> can map internally to \x80\xFD
\xAA or { 1, MOD_SHIFT, KEY_UP } and it shouldn't matter).
Structures just look more sane as they're more generic/expressive and
accurate about the problem, they also are easier to expand on.
