More to the point, is it possible to map that keycode in such a way
that the 'x' option is respected? Mapping to <C-c> of course does not
do that. And is it a bug that mapping to <Esc> triggers the vi
compatibility behaviour of accepting rather than cancelling a command
line, even if the 'x' option isn't set?
