That looks and sounds straightforward enough.

I don't know elisp.  Is there an exhaustive list of how to express all
of the key chords using vector notation?  For instance, I wouldn't have
guessed that the 'return' key was denoted by 'return' - I usually see it
written RET.

As to my problem with C-; I strongly suspect my binding is getting
stomped by C++ mode.  So I'd also appreciate some guidelines on what
keys to use or avoid.
