Description
If I start macvim:
mvim -u NONE
and do
:set nocp
:set macmeta
:inoremap <M-e> foo
Then, pressing either å or Alt+e in insert mode will insert foo. Both are treated as the same key. Is there any way to allow them to have separate mappings?

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with mvim -u NONE, :set nocp, :set macmeta, and the <M-e> insert mapping. Start by tracing how MacVim handles å and Alt+e under macmeta; done means the two inputs can receive separate mappings without changing the reported reproduction.
