I _kind of_ like this general idea because the current situation is getting kind of hazardous. _But_ if any of these do happen, make sure the symbol for the sub-keymap is exposed so the user can move the whole thing somewhere else from init code.

Yes, focusing on the keymap first and presuming that its actual binding may change seems important. Tho in practice, when a keymap is bound changes which bindings inside the map are convenient to type: E.g. `C-z C-z` is much easier to type than `M-o C-z`.


And in practice, too, there is no chance third-party library developers would agree to use that keymap if it is not bound by default to a sensible key. It must be an appealing solution.
