Upon thinking about this a bit more ... this may be a better approach
but it's not necessarily an easier approach.  To do it this way you
have to find and rebind every keystroke that is linked to the widget
you intend to replace, rather than just aliasing the widget name.

That's not terribly difficult in Sebastian's function but it could
be ugly if there are a lot of such bindings to fiddle with.
