How do we detect "new users"?

If we include which-key, but do not enable it by default, would that
be good enough?

Another idea is to add a feature whereby, after some delay after the
user types an incomplete key sequence, the buffer usually popped by
C-h or '?' pops up automatically.  This would be a smaller change in
the UX, which might therefore be more easily acceptable even by
not-so-new users.
