This could also be done, but I see two problems with this:

1.  Meta-control-@ would not be representable (due to the way the end of
a keybinding is indicated), granted this is a minor concern but
something which would need to be known.

2. The syntax for specifying Meta-characters in the init files would be
quite cumbersome (the octal representation of the characters would have
to be used).

I guess ideally both options would be available,  any ideas on how
Meta-characters should be represented in the .*init files? (besides the
octal)

Thanks,
