Yes, the 'timeout' option is usable with my Vim, yet I'm afraid it doesn't help 
much here. For the Meta key mapping to work in Insert mode I have to do 
keymapping like this:

    inoremap <expr>   <Esc>j   InsertModeKeymapping('M-j')

And this will introduce ambiguity to the <Esc> key, Vim get stuck for a while 
to resolve it whenever the key was pressed under Insert mode. Also, from my 
understanding, the default status with 'timeout' not set equals 'timeoutlen' 
being set to infinite time, which is indifferent with, say, a large number.
