I don't think it's just for compatibility but also because it makes sense.

Agreed.  There's already a `loop' macro for it in CL.

I don't think we should try to re-create the XEmacs (meta control x) form
from our M-C-x symbols.  We could provide an additional compatibility layer
on top of it, if it proves useful/necessary later on.

XEmacs' keymap do not contain menu entries (of toolbar entries
for that matter).  As for how we should treat them, I think we should
not do anything special with them: i.e. `function' will be called
with key `menu-bar' and with the corresponding sub-keymap as the binding.

                                          ^^ f  (couldn't resist)

I have appended my current code.  It has several shortcomings, especially
the ugly "use integers to specify hard-coded C functions".  Also there
is the issue of eliminating/merging duplicate bindings, which I think
XEmacs' code punts on by declaring that `map-keymap' does not look at
the keymap's parent(s).
As you can see, the code is tentative and not ready for prime-time.
I only show it to give an idea of what I'm thinking of.
