In any case I don't like much this idea of adding explicit `undefined'
bindings, just in order to get a "undefined" message rather than
a "buffer is read-only" error.
So maybe a better direction is to change the toplevel so that using
a command with a "*" (or a call to barf-if-buffer-read-only) in its
interactive spec when the buffer is read-only will signal "undefined" rather
than signalling the error. And similarly C-h k may give information such as
"the global binding is foo but is of no use in this buffer because it's
read-only".
