From what I can tell, Lars just requested a clarification of the
original report which failed to specify what functions were being talked
about.  The disagreement is that Eli thinks specifying the particular
form of keymap being returned is not needed (Lars never said anything
about that either way).

By the way, I also think documenting the particular form of keymap
returned is not needed.

I don't think Lars changed his mind about that exactly, he just misread
the original report.
