I'm in favour of promoting (C) and (D) (and perhaps making
`define-keymap' not do (A), as Stefan K. proposed), but phasing out (A)
would be difficult.  (Unless you mean "not promoting (A)" as "phasing
out (A)".)

I don't think (B) is used much...  OK, it's used more than I thought --
209 times in the Emacs tree.  Things like:

(define-key global-map [?\s-~] 'ns-prev-frame)
