(define-key ctl-x-map "f" 'forward-char)
 
C-h w forward-char   (says that it is bound to C-x f)
 
(define-key ctl-x-map [remap forward-char] 'backward-char)
 
C-h w forward-char   (says that it is still bound to C-x f)
C-h w backward-char  (says that it is bound to C-x <remap>
                      <forward-char>)
 
(command-remapping 'forward-char nil (list ctl-x-map))
  => backward-char
 
C-x f                (moves forward, not backward a character;
                      `backward-char' is not invoked)
 
C-x C-h              (says C-x f is bound to `forward-char')
 
Looking at (elisp) Remapping Commands I do not see how/why this should
be.  Seems like this should just work (as the doc indicates).
