The point of quick-help is to provide a persistent buffer with useful
bindings, comparable to what Nano does OOTB.

One critical difference between which-key and transient compared to
quick-help, is that the latter has nothing to do with prefix maps, but
(by default) just presents global bindings, and is as such closer to a
curated version of `describe-bindings' (sort of like how `shortdocs' is
a curated version of `apropos-functions').
