This would mean keeping track of all keymap states -- there is no
"original value" for a keymap.  Or at least keep a list of all
overwritten values in `define-key' and friends.

I don't think this is particularly useful, and it would require more
infrastructure than it's worth.  So I'm closing this bug report.
