Now that I think of it, maybe it's not all that useful after all. I
just thought it could be of some help when binding keys using `kbd',
to make sure the string argument is correctly formatted.

I personally could use it in conversations in #emacs when trying to
explain example uses of keybindings, especially when entering macros.
Example: C-x ( M-m C-SPC M-f M-f M-b C-w C-e SPC C-y DEL C-n C-x )
(This particular macro would move the first word of the current line
to the end of the line and then move one line down.)

Needless to say the function definition could be improved further by
echoing the input as the user enters it.
