The problem with that is that if you have an unbound function key on
your keyboard, striking it will cause unpredictable effects when the
leading ESC is ignored and the rest of the sequence begins to be
interpreted as individual characters.

Which is correct if the whole sequence came from a single keystroke;
the real difficulty is determining whether that happened.
