Re: where-is only mentions first key in interval

I've installed the patch below, so it will display as
"dired-find-file is on RET, e..f, <menu-bar>"
It would be better to handle such "trivial" intervals as separate keys,
but that's a larger change (because "C-x e..f" needs to be turned into
"C-x e, C-x f").
