Suppose I rebind C-v.  Instead of displaying a line

** C-v has been rebound, but you can use <next> instead [More] **

at every instance of C-v in the tutorial, now that line appears the
first time C-v appears in the tutorial; both C-v and the line are
highlighted in tutorial-warning-face.

For subsequent instances of C-v, the C-v is highlighted in
tutorial-warning-face, but the line is omitted (this is to prevent
many, many instances of, the line appearing, which makes it difficult
to read the tutorial text).  When you put the mouse over C-v, the
message is displaying in a tooltip.
