I'm old and forgetful. sometimes I need a reminder about what key
bindings are available in a mode. As pointed out by SJT,
heuristically, I can distinguish key translations from key bindings by
the thing they are bound to, but maybe I forget about this (did I
mention I'm old and forgetful?)

P.S. In all seriousness, not a big issue, though I do think it is
unfortunate and a possible source of confusion to have both key
bindings and key translations displayed in a buffer created by a
command to describe key bindings.  At the very least, updated doc
string informing users about the key translations would probably be
worthwhile.
