This documentation was already in the Calc manual, simply commented out.
I uncommented it and put in the (new) correct keybinding.

Yes; what's more, the documentation here doesn't match the documentation of the
other statistics functions.  I changed it to match the others, and now
it refers to the rms of data values rather than a vector.
