This is what Fexecute_kbd_macro does:
final = indirect_function (macro);
if (!STRINGP (final) && !VECTORP (final))
error ("Keyboard macros must be strings or vectors");
In what contexts can a function end up being a string? Uhm... If
somebody has said
(fset 'foo "bar")
?
Is this a useful thing? Should it be documented? I can't see any
callers in the Emacs code base calling `execute-kbd-macro' with a symbol
after grepping a bit...
