I think it just sounds a bit confusing. Would users believe that ?t is
something else than 166 just in a keymap context? And no matter how you
display the keymap in `C-h v', it's going to be pretty incomprehensible.
But there's also a parallel bug report about adding a describe-keymap
command that'll display the keymap in a more sensible fashion (not as a
list/vector at all), and that's probably going to be merged.
