  bindings.  A keymap with such a char-table is called a @dfn{full
  keymap}.  Other keymaps are called @dfn{sparse keymaps}.
  
- When a keymap contains a char-table vector, it always defines a
- binding for each character without modifiers.  However, if the binding
- is @code{nil}, it doesn't constitute a definition.  @code{nil} takes
- precedence over a default binding or a binding in the parent keymap.
- So in a full keymap, default bindings are not meaningful for
- characters without modifiers.  They can still apply to characters with
- modifier bits and to non-character events.  A binding of @code{nil}
- does @emph{not} override lower-precedence keymaps; thus, if the local
- map gives a binding of @code{nil}, Emacs uses the binding from the
- global map.

  @cindex meta characters lookup
    Keymaps do not directly record bindings for the meta characters.
