The code for `sorted-key-descriptions' is copied from XEmacs:

 - 4 lines function body (the same as part of the code in
   `icomplete-get-keys', also in Emacs)
 - 1 line function head
 - 3 lines docstring

I don't know whether you need papers in this case.  Here is the
corresponding entry in XEMACS/lisp/ChangeLog.1:

        [...]

        * prim/help.el (sorted-key-descriptions): New function.

CC to Hrvoje Niksic <address@hidden>.
