Is 'Super_L' popular on some (language-specific) environment?
If so, uim should add it as standard keysym and you get happy.

Reference doc for define-key is not written yet. As rough
explanation, there is some basic rules.

1. it accepts single ascii char
   (define-key anthy-kana-toggle-key? "q")

2. single ascii char is case sensitive
   (define-key anthy-commit-as-opposite-kana-key? "Q")

3. it also accepts keysyms (see uim-key.c)
   (define-key generic-beginning-of-preedit-key? "home")

4. it also accepts previously defined key
   (define-key anthy-delete-key? 'generic-delete-key?)

5. keys can be modified
   (define-key my-delete-key? "<Control>d")
   (define-key reset-key? "<Control><Alt>delete")

6. <Shift> modifier is implied for single ascii char appropriately
   (define-key foo-key? "<Control>A")  ;actually Control + Shift + a
   (define-key bar-key? "<Alt>%")      ;actually Alt + Shift + 5
   (define-key baz-key? "<Shift>home") ;non-ascii keys need explicit shift

7. keys can be or'ed
   (define-key anthy-hankaku-kana-key? '("<Control>q" "<Control>Q"))
   (define-key anthy-on-key? '("<Control>j" "<Control>J" generic-on-key?))

And some advanced rules.

8. it also accepts define-time dereference rather than runtime dereference
   (define-key my-on-key? generic-on-key?)
   ;after now, redefinition of generic-on-key? not affects my-on-key?

   ;overriding preexisting definition
   (define-key generic-on-key? (list "<Alt>`" generic-on-key?))

   ;bad definition: causes infinite loop
   (define-key generic-on-key? (list "<Alt>`" 'generic-on-key?))

9. it also accepts emacs-like syntax
   (define-key reset-key? "C-A-delete")
   (define-key baz-key? "S-home")
   (define-key anthy-on-key? '("C-j" "C-J" generic-on-key?))

Probably you're feeling same pain as me. I'm tired with typing
"man ascii"...

What "the function" mean?
define-key itself? or a predicate that generated by define-key?

Maybe. I want so strongly.
