In all honesty:

(define-key input-decode-map "\C-[" [C-left-bracket])
(define-key global-map [C-left-bracket] 'myfunction)

is not inconvenient at all. What is inconvenient is the discovery process.

Knowing what I know about emacs (which is above the casual user) and even with 
the willingness to go through the manual, it would have been (it *has* been) 
impossible for me to find that solution.

Now, what I'd love to know is what are the other "unusual" keys, because as a 
group, they deserve a few more lines in the manual.
