​C-h k shows the documentation for a key binding in a help buffer rather
than just a laid out summary of all the keys in a particular hydra map.
C-h k is important to know the details of what individual keys do, so
hydra needs a way of integrating with standard key documentation lookup
capabilities if it gets integrated with core Emacs, which I would like to
see.

Personally, I also think the red, blue, etc. color notation should change to
something more descriptive of what they do and then the particular colors
associated could be customized to suit any particular visual theme.
