Re: minor modes keymaps are not keymaps?

   Define a minor mode:

       nil
       nil
       '(
         ('[(control ?b)] . mark-whole-buffer)
         ))

   Then evaluate:

     (keymapp 'maptest-mode-map)

   Why does this give nil?

>From the keymapp docstring:

  A keymap is a list (keymap . ALIST),
  or a symbol whose function definition is itself a keymap.

But maptest-mode-map is a symbol whose _value_ and _not_ whose
function definition is a keymap.  (keymapp maptest-mode-map) returns t.
