Oh, sure. But it requires no support at the other end -- it will work
with existing packages. I think we need something that has this
capability. I can see no way of achieving this wit

I'd agree with this. It would be simple to get this to work with
something like extend-key so that

(extend-key my-mode-map "e" 'excellent)

(define-keymap my-mode-map)

would work, without the use of the after-load-functions hook.
