A question remains to decide is what would be a good user interface
for editing key bindings.  For instance, after typing

  M-x customize-keymap RET emacs-lisp-mode-map RET

what the user will see: all current key bindings in this keymap
(this may be too many as some keymaps have dozens of key bindings),
or an empty list with the single [Insert] button to add new key
bindings that will override the existing ones after saving the
Customization buffer.
