There is this in w32fns.c:
    case WM_KEYDOWN:
    case WM_SYSKEYDOWN:
        ...

which basically should be
    case WM_SYSKEYDOWN:
        if (!is_key_bound_in_emacs(key_param))
             goto dflt;
    case WM_KEYDOWN:
        ...

Provided that emacs has a way to check whether a key is bound,
on that level.  And if so that the method can be called from
another thread ;)
