My own approach generally consists of binding all the common sequences
without regard for whether they are right for the exact terminal in use.
Zsh's C code is binding both raw and application mode sequences for the
cursor keys which is similar.

Clashes are fairly rare and where I have come across them, it has only
been for terminals that set $TERM to something unique. To matter, the
clash has to be between two keys we want to bind which is rare. Del
producing ^? (which other terminals have for Backspace) is one case.

In my view, we should add bindings as best we can in the C code. It may
not be perfect but will work for the vast majority of users and likely
be harmless for the rest.
