RE: shouldn't substitute-command-keys remove duplicates?

[Drew Adams]

As an example, filecache.el does this (via ;;;###autoload):

(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map
            [C-tab] 'file-cache-minibuffer-complete)
(define-key minibuffer-local-map
            [C-tab] 'file-cache-minibuffer-complete)
(define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map
            [C-tab] 'file-cache-minibuffer-complete)

This is in spite of the fact that minibuffer-local-map is
the parent of minibuffer-local-completion-map and
minibuffer-local-completion-map is the parent of
minibuffer-local-must-match-map.

The first and third bindings here are therefore superfluous,
but they serve to show that (substitute-command-keys
"\\{minibuffer-local-must-match-map\\}") doesn't remove the
duplicate entries:

minibuffer-local-must-match-map
-------------------------------

Local keymap for minibuffer input with completion, for exact
match.
