+A new sparse keymap is stored as COMMAND's function definition and its
+value.
+This prepares COMMAND for use as a prefix key's binding.
+If a second optional argument MAPVAR is given, it should be a symbol.
+The map is then stored as MAPVAR's value instead of as COMMAND's

 The third optional argument NAME, if given, supplies a menu name
 string for the map.  This is required to use the keymap as a menu.
 This function returns COMMAND.  */)
