A key sequence is a Lisp object, and it's not internal -- quite a few
programs operate on them.

The description in that node is confused between describing the
Lisp object itself and describing its printed representation.
Perhaps this node should describe the Lisp object format
and the issue of printing and inputting them should be elsewhere.
