Personally, I was disappointed when I discovered that copy-keymap was
inadequate for this purpose.  I think that copy-keymap *ought* to
recursively copy both types of keymaps, instead of just copying the
a-lists of a sparse keymap.  When I get around to it, I'll write one
that does that ...

For all of you reading comp.emacs or gnu.emacs, I have a question.
The article to which I am responding went to both comp.emacs and
gnu.emacs.  Rn filled in the followup field for me with comp.emacs.
Where would *you* rather have followups to this kind of article go?
gnu.emacs seems more appropriate, but a lot of places don't get that
group.
