Thanks.  So it's like a ... mega-popup key menu thing.  It does seem
quite nice -- it makes command discovery very "in your face": You can't
help but know what your options are.

But it's a quite radical departure from other commands in Emacs.

There could also be a delay so if you know the keys you could skip the
popup display. But more important to me would be the concept itself:
The author of a command can defined keys which adjust the behavior and
callers can call these commands with a prefix and than are queried for
the option key.
