    How about allowing a more declarative form like

      (defkeymap my-mode-map
	'(([mouse-1] . foo)
	  (([mouse-2] "f" "e" "\C-m") . open-file))
	"Keymap for My mode."
	:group 'foo
	:inherit his-mode-map)

That is a clean interface, but the crucial question is, what would it
expand into?  Would it just be a defvar for my-mode-map, or a
defcustom for my-mode-map?  Or would it produce something else?  If
so, what else?
