I wasn't intending for this keyhandler to be committed, at least
certainly not taking the place of '1'  (As people might be able to guess
from similar debugging patches of mine, I regularly have many of the
numbers in use for temporary keyhandlers)

While it was very useful while working on this issue, I don't think it
would be particularly useful in general, especially given the increasing
scarcity of keys.
