In addition to user-level keymap manipulation commands I would also
like to see a builtin which can list the current keymap, similar to
the GNU Emacs C-h B command. This can be a great help especially to
novice users. It gives them a way to find out about commands they
don't know about and to find out where others they do know about are
located.

I would vote for both user level keymap manipulation commands and for
binding bash functions to keystrokes. I have already had users ask me
for both.
