Could someone please explain to me the logic of having keystrokes
not be inherited by command tables??

It seems to me that this renders CLIM command tables completely useless
if you care about inheritance, and you use keystrokes.  How can it
possibly be sane for the inheritance of keystrokes and other attributes
to be different???

If keystrokes were inherited, and you wanted to use a different set of
keystrokes in some situation, define the commands in one command table,
the keystrokes in another, and use whichever you want, depending on whether
or not you want the keystrokes.  This is elementary object-oriented-programming
modularity.

No such modularity is possible if they follow different rules.
