Those who change the default key bindings can change the
documentation as well.  Using \\[...] isn't going to fix up the
Info document or the quick reference card.

My fear is hardly irrational.  The keymap lookups caused by rampant
use of \\[...] really slow down program startup.  I noticed this
phenomena first in vkill.el, a package that doesn't have nearly as
many bindings as VM.  I once used substitute-command-keys but now I
just don't think it's worth the wait.
