You would not need to do that if a certain missing command syntax was built in. You see, ":map" only takes two arguments, the character to map and the sequence to map it to. But, if you look at the source, you discover that space was set aside for a third field: a description field. Some versions even call an internal routine to predefine some mappings, and do set a description, e.g: :map up ^[A k Note the word "up". You can't get that in there from a map command.
