Here's another question: will we be able to reimplement the current 
behavior? Meaning, first of all, having a loop where the user is asked 
to use some existing binding from the menu, or from the keymap, but when 
a key is typed which does not correspond to some existing command, we 
ask again and again until the user chooses some existing one, or pressed 
C-g.

'set-transient-map' seems like a viable approach, but it will only let 
the user try once, right?
