As far as I remember, that part of ido has grown out of code inherited from iswitchb, so I probably just didn't see a need to change something that worked ok for ido.

Iswitchb had this comment in the keymap setup function:

;; generated every time so that it can inherit new functions.

The new patches seems fine to me.

Ido's author is not an idiot and AFAIK he is responsive to questions on
ido. So maybe ask him first for why it was designed that way ;)

Kim, any particular reason it was written this way?
