Just be aware there is a specific order that things need to go[0]:

(setq which-key-enable-extended-define-key t)
(require 'which-key)
(define-key [...])
(which-key-mode)

Above is only for which-key purposes.  Doing define-key in that alist
style as my first email is supported by vanilla define-key (or so I
learned).
