How true! Being stucked on keymap scanning, I thought I'd just write
a simpler function with a regex guessing based search. The first
command I have tried is `ido-prev-work-directory', bound to "M-p". I
thought it should have existed a keymap variable whose name would
match "ido-.*-map", but according to `describe-variable' there isn't
any. Digging into "ido.el", showed such function was being bound by
`ido-init-completion-maps', thus requiring source modification, I
think.
Hard times in Emacs for keyboard remappers :-(
