Hi RMS and gang,
What is needed for the keymap customization support to be included in
Emacs?
Here are the open issues:
1. The defkeymap should generate a defvar.
2. The generation of new prefix keys is not supported.
3. We really should use a two-keymap solution in define-key.
Fixing #3 would also fix #2.
I am willing to solve #1 if that mean I can commit the code to the
Emacs CVS. I'll also think about #2 then.
I believe #3 is the right thing, I'm not willing to do that work, but
I'll help anyone who volunteers. But I don't think the current
suboptimal solution should be rejected if nobody volunteer to do #3.
The latest version is attached.

Don't bother with doing #2 using the current data format, since #3
will take care of it.
Is anyone interested in doing #3 now?

Nobody seems to volunteer.
So do we give up, or use Alex' implementation?
As I said, I believe Alex' implementation will be forward compatible
with a define-key based solution, and I also believe this will be the
most important single improvement for ordinary users since Emacs 21.1,
so I believe we should go ahead with Alex' code.

I vote to use Alex' code right away.

It would be better to do this than to make no change, but I asked Alex
if he would be willing to redo it the other way.
