Eli, if you refer to my post, then let me assure you that it was not.

The only thing I was talking about was C-[ because I was doing a binding on C-] 
and I wanted a related one on C-[.

I never wanted to redefine ESC. I was surprised to see that C-[ was equivalent 
to ESC and that nothing in my preferences or in the manual hinted at a reason 
for that.
