Well, here is the current patch.

But I increasingly feel that this is not the right way to go, the
whole function should get dissed out, and instead we should have
something like

(posn-key-binding event &optional accept-default remap key)

or something like that (maybe as a primitive C function), and the
event loop and help functions and so should consistently use that.
