Exactly how much help does an semi-knowledgeable user (who knows enough to
want to bind a key) need beyond the error?
"Hmm... dired... I'd like a key to convert DOS to Unix line endings. How
about M-u for "Make Unix"? That sounds good."
M-u
Buffer is read-only: #<buffer contrib>
"Huh?"
C-h c M-u
M-u is bound to upcase-word
"Oh, that's a nice command. But it doesn't work...?"
M-u
Buffer is read-only: #<buffer contrib>
"Yup, it's taken, but it doesn't work here. A shame, too. I could have
used it!"
I don't see the reaction to C-h c proceeding like that, but rather
"Aha. Good to know, but I can obviously use it here, since it doesn't
work anyway."

PS - Never mind that there's no command to which to bind a key that does
what this hypothetical user wants. They found the defun scrawled on a
blackboard in a sewer or something.
