I asked the question because those functions already DO LOOK for
those bindings - but the rest of emacs doesn't call those functions
often enough for the functionality to work anyway.
Since it doesn't really work, I doubt anyone is actually using it.
So my proposal is to remove the "look for keymaps at PT" from those
functions.
