While Hydra might include the feature you're looking for, AFAICT it does
something else than what you're looking for.

I have no opinion on that part, but if a part of Hydra would be useful
for other packages, then it'd be good to split it out: for me "Hydra"
means "define a Hydra via defhydra or something like that", so if you
tell me to use Hydra to "show the available valid key bindings",
I wouldn't know where to start.
