Has anybody proposed or rejected adding some letter to the interactive string to mark shift-sensitive movement commands? It would be reasonably easy to interpret this in C-h k and its ilk. That could be a good method. It has the advantage that the command definition controls 100% of the behavior. It is somewhat ugly that the command behaves differently depending on what key it is bound to, but at least that happens according to a simple system, which makes it less ugly than it might have been.
