I don't know. I just use the darned thing, I haven't read the manual.

It would be more than enough, I'd say; you don't even have to map
keybindings, you can use the functions by doing a simple M-x
functionname.

For instance, I just pressed M-x boxquote-describe-key M-x, and this
was inserted:

,----[ C-h k M-x ]

Read through boxquote.el and look at the names following the "(defun "
parts.

Some of them will be internal functions, but the names usually give
them away.

Experiment.
