Maybe I should explain my original concern a bit better. If you do

  C-h f org-mode RET

you will see a long list of key bindings and function names like those 
we are discussing. If the function names where written with `', like

  <M-left>        `org-metaleft'

then you could at least click on the function names directly to get more 
information. How about that?

(The list of key bindings is inserted through \\{org-mode-map} in 
org-mode doc string.)
