The trouble with replacing the self-insert-command is that it is
a primitive function.  As such, the new substitute function will be
called by lisp functions, but the old primitive function will still be
called by primitives since the address to the primitive itself is used,
not the symbolic name.  

There are uses of the self_insert_command primitive in keyboard.c, but I
think only to check whether the command being executed is
self_insert_command.  So we luck out in this case.
