Instead of gruff messages like

when one hits an unbound key,
or flashing of the terminal (BBDB mode),
helpful messages like
Commands: m, u, t, RET, g, k, S, D, Q; q to quit; h for help, or
new field: C-o; edit field: e; delete field: d; mode help: C-h m; info: i
could be put in the minibuffer.

That would suck.

BTW, an unbound key signals a "KEY is undefined" error.  I think you
are talking about keys bound to self-insert-command.
