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.

When the binding is @code{nil}, it doesn't constitute a definition

@cindex meta characters lookup
Keymaps do not directly record bindings for the meta characters.
Instead, meta characters are regarded for purposes of key lookup as
