This is the wrong solution, it is not backwards compatible and will
cause problems.

The todo list mentions the right solution:

- in vgetorpeek() apply langmap to the typeahead buffer and put the result in
a copy-buffer, only when langmap is appropriate for the current mode. Then
check for mapping and let gotchars() work on the copy-buffer.
- Remove LANGMAP_ADJUST() in other parts of the code. Make sure the mode is
covered by the above change.
So that replaying the register doesn't use keymap/langmap and still does the
same thing.

I know this is much more difficult to implement, but we should not
include a bad hack for that reason.
