I agree with Drew that the paragraph about the KEYMAP arg could be
improved. Currently we have
| Optional KEYMAP is the default keymap bound to the mode keymap. If
| non-nil, it should be a variable name (whose value is a keymap), or
| ...
It's not clear that this is about specifying the _name_ of a keymap (a
symbol), in contrast to specifying a keymap (value).
I also agree that the doc could make clearer if and when the arguments
are evaluated.
Michael.
