I am in favor. One of my main problems in learning emacs: I started with evil
and all documentation lacking the function names was literally a huge source of
frustration. Also, humans are much better at remembering names than high
entropy keystrokes. If I just remember a bit of the name, I can easily find the
key binding in the help. The other way around is not possible. Just like a
phone book. The numbers (key bindings) are shorter, yes. But good luck trying
to find 555-12346 when you remember 555-12345.
