A somewhat similar but more primitive thing is found
in the DEC VT71/t typesetting terminal, which has a row of 16 "User Defined
Keys" at the top. These have double keycaps, an outer transparent plastic shell that
snaps over a smaller ordinary keycap with no label. The idea is that you could make your
own labels and insert them under the clear shell. Then again, a lot of users simply laid
a cardboard strip with legends just above the top row:

And on the lk201 they finally made a strip for that :)
