I think we do not have to worry about the default keybindings a user
might want to remove.  Adding key bindings should be enough.  The way
I see it, we can write code that allows the user to add bindings, and
remove them.  The only problem is that when a user does that, the old
(default) binding of a key will not reappear.  It will reappear the
next time Emacs gets started, but not during the current session.  Hm.
Unless we save the old binding somewhere.  I will try to write
something that does this.

I would like that, too -- and without modifying define-key and
friends.
