I'm not dead set against it -- it's not like these are commands that
people use heavily.  But that cuts the other way, too -- making this new
command mnemonic isn't really that important, either, since I'd assume
that people would be accessing them via `C-h C-h' and then paging down,
entering whatever key it says they should use.  I.e., nobody's
remembering these keystrokes anyway.

Perhaps Eli has an opinion here?
