Programmatically change key bindings using twin maps

*****************************************************************
This package programmatically changes key bindings in most keymaps.
This is done by automatically attaching a "twin" map to each keymap
and defining key bindings according to some user defined rules.
This package has never finished, though I did try to use it for a
few weeks causing major damage to my muscle memory. What you see
here is stripped down version with most of my configuration removed
but still enough of it to demonstrate how it was supposed to be
used.
I intended to use it to automatically translate the basic motion
keys:
p
C- f
b n
to
i
C- j k l
(That's the basic idea; of course my plan went beyond that.)
I am still planning to create such key bindings but it turned out
that automating the required changes is almost impossible. I now
think it is easier to change all bindings manually instead of
trying to understand a mixture of pending, cannot-be-automated,
automatic-but-not-quite-right, and work-around changes ;-/
However if you want to do something much simpler than what I tried
then this package *might* at least serve as source of inspiration -
or at least serve as a warning.
