Here's a rough draft.

It seems to work in the basic cases that I've tried (changing help-char 
to something with a binding and rebinding <f1>), but doesn't account for 
key translations for far (e.g. if help-char is ?X and the prefix map has 
?x, this isn't caught).

Also, piping the current used map through so many methods is pretty 
messy, I'm sure whether I've used the appropriate value in other 
callsites of echo_now and echo_dash. There's also echo_update...

So if anybody has something simpler in mind that'd be welcome.
