That's wrong Texinfo: @key should be used only with names of single
keys, like TAB or SPC or DEL.  The intent of @key is make sure you
mean TAB the key and not the sequence of keys T A B.

Since there's no key labeled "M--", this usage of @key is incorrect,
and we should not base our design decisions on that usage.  (The
correct way is @kbd{M--}.)
