Actually, -R flag is not described at all (I have dev-20 with a couple
of patches).

It is, although not very clearly: (from mod_zle.yo)

  xitem(tt(bindkey) [ var(options) ] tt(-l))
  ...
  In the binding operations, if the tt(-R) option is used, the var(in-string)s
  are interpreted as ranges, instead of plain strings.  A valid range
  consists of two characters, with an optional `tt(-)'
  between them.  All characters between the two specified, inclusive,
  are bound as specified.

So I guess -R is one of the var(options).

I mostly referred to those modules, that are autoloaded by default. You
hardly can imagine Zsh without ZLE. And this is completely transparent,
users do not need to load any modules manually and may not even know
that modules exist.

But without the module they won't get the builtin (parameter,
condition code, whatever...), so they may be in for a surprise.

Hm, maybe add pointers to the module docs in builtins.yo? (And also in 
params.yo, cond.yo??)
