Subject: 25.1.50; `describe-bindings' request: show `??' definitions
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2016 10:12:43 -0700 (PDT)

Enhancement request.  Keys shown by `describe-bindings' and similar
(including `substitute-command-keys' for \{...}) currently show `??' as
their binding if the binding is not a command symbol.

Please turn the `??' occurrences into links that when clicked show the
source code for the key's binding, when available.  If it is
byte-compiled, and the uncompiled code is unknown, show the byte code,
but with control chars filtered out (so somewhat human-readable).

This lets users see what is behind the `??', giving them a somewhat
better idea what the key does.
