Sure, but I am in a latex buffer and still get:

,----[ C-h k C-c C-a ]
| C-c C-a runs the command TeX-command-run-all, which is an interactive

So obviously emacs knows that it is bound to C-c C-a but \\[...] does
not...

But then it would show the binding also if you were in some non-tex
buffer which seems wrong to me.  Ok, in a non-tex buffer there is no
reason to invoke it at all, but...
