This tests whether the user typed a key-sequence from `map` as opposed
to some other one.
E.g. when you use `text-scale-adjust`, you want to "stay" in the
transient map as long as the user uses one of the keys in the `map`
(basically, +, -, or 0) and if the user types some other key, we
immediately/automatically exit from this transient map.
