Thanks.  Can you describe the effect of this change in Calc usage?
That is, what will users see after the change that they didn't see
before it?

Without the patch, x TAB in the Calc buffer shows in the *Completions*
buffer:

    calc-abs
    calc-abssqr

etc.  But with this patch, it instead shows

    calc-abs (A)
    calc-abssqr (fA)

as calc-abs is bound to the key 'A' (C-h w calc-abs RET confirms this).
This is similar to how M-x displays the keybinding next to the command
name in the *Completions* buffer.
