Indeed, it's a bit confusing.  I'm thinking of something along the lines of:

   ...
   It is normally bound to C-x k,
   tho the command is remapped to `ido-kill-buffer'.

but I'm not satisfied yet.  Can someone help out find a wording that's
sufficiently concise for those who know what's going on without being
confusing for those who don't?
