Or perhaps it should just do this with byte-compiled functions.

Anyway, here's a test case:

(key-binding [(menu-bar) options line-wrapping word-wrap] t)
=>
#[nil "\204\300\301!\210\302\303!\207" [visual-line-mode 1 message "Visual-Line mode enabled"] 2 nil nil]

The binary bit, at least, is probably not something we want to show to
the user.  But the rest?  It might help with chasing down code, which is
what I often use `C-h k' for...
