Which of course has an unhelpful prompt (Describe key:). If the
prompt were to be changed to say something like "Describe event (key,
mouse or menu selection):", it would be more obvious what it can do.
It doesn't matter if the prompt is long, since at most, a few key
strokes need to be echoed in the minibuffer next to it.
If some emacs maintainer reads this, please consider it a feature
request, even if it is in the wrong forum. ;-)
