Part of the difficulty in making key binding schemes more flexible is
that the keys you'll want to use within <mode-specific> will tend to
depend on the key to which <mode-specific> is bound.

E.g. if it's bound to `C-c` it's fairly convenient to have bindings
within it of the form `C-<letter>`, but if it's bound to `c` instead
(assuming a a modal key-binding scheme like vi) then using `C-<letter>`
within it is much less convenient.
