I'd like to resurrect this thread.

Github added `kbd` as a standard role for documentation purposes, since
it's very frequently used in READMEs along with code sections. They
translate it into <kbd> tags in the html writer.

Now I'm a bit thorn if I should add a non-standard role into my READMEs
just to have fancier formatting.

I admit, I'd use `kbd` quit a bit too. I write almost everything in rst
these days, and showing "stuff to type" scores pretty high for me.
