For example, how to explain to the users why a keybinding
is displayed for "Undo", but not for "Redo".
Another question is why currently `C-x u' is displayed
instead of the shorter `C-/' for "Undo".
So maybe simpler just to disable keys only for "Undo"
with ‘:keys ""’. Or the other way around: to manually
add some suggested keybinding to "Redo".
