(global-set-key [(control f3)] 'highlight-symbol) results in 'Wrong type argument: commandp, highlight-symbol" #60

While M-x highlight-symbol works just fine, if I use the key binding specified in the highlight-symbol.el README.md, it results in the error "Wrong type argument: commandp, highlight-symbol". Given that it's a simple copy and paste job from the README, I'm at a loss as to what's the culprit here.

This is with Emacs 27.2 and -nw.
