> But what about instead of a separate command to remember, just creating an (optional) section in the existing help-quick popup, for local commands?  where-is-internal would consult the global keymap for the global commands, and the current buffer’s keymap for the locals. 

I think we should be careful not to add too much to what these
commands display, since otherwise we'd reinvent "C-h b" again.

The whole purpose of help-quick is to present a small list of the most
useful commands and their bindings, and do it in a small window.  As
soon as the buffer is long enough to require scrolling, I think we
will have lost.
