/* The create-character-table definition above uses the full,
long-hand "-- :key :value" syntax to specify the :command and
:result.  We can save some typing by using the short-hand notation
as the second and (optionally) third values for the :name.  Below, the
:! is equivalent to ":command :!", where :! is an alias for
:execute.  The default :result is :raw when not specified, so
there is no need to specify it as the third value. */
