Aahhh.... now I understand.

So the `repeat-map` property is actually not redundant: it records which
transient keymap to use after that command and that keymap could
conceivably not include that command.  Also, not all commands in that
keymap should trigger the transient use of that keymap.

I understand quickly but only after a long explanation.
Sorry 'bout that,
