An FAQ on the vim users' mailing list is whether <Tab> and <C-I>
can be mapped to different things. The answer is no. As I understand
it, this is a low level issue: <Tab> and <C-I> are different names
for the same ASCII code, and there is no way for vim to tell them
apart. Similarly, <Esc> and <C-[> are the same thing.
