After that, bind C-x to whatever you want in the global map. Repeat
for all other existing keymaps (mapatoms and keymap-p are your friends).
Then you want to transform keybindings starting "\C-x.." in libraries
you'll load later into "\C-k..". The best way here would be to add
advice to `define-key', but this routine's written in C. Maybe the way
to go here would be to change the name string "define-key" in keymap.c
into, say, "xl-define-key", then write a "(defun define-key ...)" as a
wrapper around it.
And after that, remember to use `xl-define-key' for your own bindings.
Whether you want this badly enough to go through all this hassle is
another matter altogether. ;-)
