Yes, I'm sold on the concept.  :-)

I can also imagine using it on the Gnus scoring commands (which
implements a system that's not entirely unlike this (sort of, if you
squint), but not as user-friendly), and as Stefan M mentioned, skeleton
selections could use this, and the `C-x C-m' thing, perhaps.

Of course, we can't change the current interfaces, but this would be an
additional way to navigate particularly complex (combinatorial-ish)
commands.
