This is from the node:

@node Rebinding
@subsection Changing Key Bindings Interactively
@cindex key rebinding, this session
@cindex redefining keys, this session
@cindex binding keys

I wonder whether that 

@cindex redefining keys, this session

is a mistake, and that it should be

@cindex rebinding keys, this session

Opinions?

This was fixed by Eli in 2018.  They now point to "Init Rebinding".
