That works for very common commands and simple bindings, but does
nothing to handle the vast number of very specialized bindings.

The basic problem is that Emacs is not an app with a simple central list
of bindings, it's a bunch of cooperating parts, and there are _many_
unstated but significant relationships between these parts.
