It's been explored a bit in the past, for instance in the Hemlock editor
(CMUCL's emacs-a-like). I think it's a useful concept, but runs into
problems if you try to apply it widely -- for instance, in emacs a
major part of the command set is `related' keybindings, like n and C-n;
are these one role? Two? If two, how are they related?
In emacs, you can kind of get a similar effect using Kim's `command
remapping' code.
[e.g., (local-set-key [remap next-line] 'forward-char) ]
