(global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") (kbd "C-c a v"))

might be a little easier to read and type. Explanation is :
global-set-key can take any "command" as argument, and the definition of
what a "command" is includes keyboard macros. That is vaguely explained
at (info "(elisp) What Is a Function") -- 2nd paragraph after the term
"command".

I think I wouldn't look for replay-keys if I did not know about the
function. My own problem is that I usually look for "call-kbd-macro",
which doesn't exist, instead of "execute-...". I guess everyone can't be
pleased !
