There are 32 Ctrl+letter combinations which are characters, and the
above two are among them.  These are exceptional special cases due
to history.  My general recommendation is to not use keyboard-translate
but key-translation-map or function-key-map, which work on arbitrary
key sequences rather only on single-char events.
