Drew has corrected me about the terminology.

I am quite confused with the following

(global-set-key KEY COMMAND)
(keymap-global-set KEY COMMAND)

(define-key KEYMAP KEY DEF &optional REMOVE)
(keymap-set KEYMAP KEY DEFINITION)

Previously one was able to add a Key Sequence KSQ as equivalent to a 
previously defined Key Sequence KSQ-ORIGINAL.   How would we do this 
now with "keymap-set" and "keymap-global-set" ?
