I tried 

(keymap-global-set "C-;" "C-x C-;")

and it sets C-; to the command that's bound to C-x C-;

The doc string of keymap-global-set doesn't say clearly that argument COMMAND 
can be a key description (what kbd returns) of a key sequence bound to some 
command.  I recommend an improved description.
