Right.

So, here's the test case (since one wasn't given in the original bug
report):

C-x C-f file.tgz RET
M-x view-mode RET
C-h m

Notice

key             binding
---             -------

0 .. 9		digit-argument  (binding currently shadowed)
e .. f		tar-extract  (binding currently shadowed)

This is both confusing and...  wrong?

`C-h c e' does say "e runs the command View-exit", but
`C-h c f' says "f runs the command tar-extract".

And all of keys `0' through `9' really do call `digit-argument', so that
one is just totally wrong.

So there's a bug here, and an improvement request in addition.
