We added `repeat-hint' symbol property for repeat mode, which is working
well.  Unfortunately it fails for non-character keys.  For example,
evaluate:

  (put 'next-buffer 'repeat-hint "Next")
  (put 'previous-buffer 'repeat-hint "Prev")

and then hit `C-x <right>`.  The problem is the use of
`rmc--add-key-description', which expects a character for KEY (not the
symbol 'right).  This is a problem whether the key is just one element
or more than one, since `event-basic-type' returns "a printing character
(not upper case) or a symbol".

So it seems we need yet another formatting approach for repeat keymap
keys like <right>, M-<right>, etc.
