Using some other delimiters than "\\[]" would probably be nice though,
because:

    (substitute-command-keys "\\[[C-h]]")
    => "M-x [C-h]"

    (substitute-command-keys "\\`C-h`")
    => "\\‘C-h‘"

The second one will be printed as "\‘C-h‘" on old versions, which isn't
perfect but not too bad.  Even if the extra "\" is distracting, it is at
least not actively misleading...
