We don't document the bindings in doc strings, because users can
rebind commands, and then the doc string will be incorrect.

There are also technical problems with referring to a single binding
when a command has several ones.

So I think this aspect will remain the user's responsibility (the
Emacs manual explains that TAB and C-i are the same).
