But if a user binds a key that's supposed to be for modes, and then they
load a mode that also binds that key, they'll have a conflict. The point
of these conventions is to avoid conflicts like this.
If you don't mind losing one of the mode's keybindings, that's fine, but
you should do it with full knowledge of the potential conflict.
