So basically any autoloaded function that refers to a keymap in the doc
string will have incomplete doc strings?  (Until the file is loaded, of
course.)

That sounds unfortunate.  Should a dummy string be inserted into these
strings by `documentation' or something?  To at least show that there's
something missing?
