The Fsubstitute_command_keys function is indeed a bit hairy, and I
agree that a conversion to Lisp is the most reasonable next step.
I've actually been working a patch to convert it to Lisp for Bug#8951,
but it's not finished yet. The difficulty is that it has a couple of
helper functions that also needs to be lifted, which makes the job
bigger than just the function Fsubstitute_command_keys.
My goal is to get the Lisp version to produce the same output as the C
version, which currently seems to be a feasible goal. Once it's in
Lisp it should be easier to make further improvements, fix bugs, etc.
Thanks,
