If, after <c-x><c-l>, Vim is still in CTRL-X sub-mode, why are other
keys remapped? For instance:

imap <expr> <c-l> pumvisible()?'PUM':'BAM'
imap <expr> <c-k> pumvisible()?'PUM':'BAM'

The results are as follows:

<c-x><c-l><c-l> => <c-l> is not remapped
<c-x><c-k><c-l> => <c-l> is remapped
<c-x><c-l><c-k> => <c-k> is remapped
<c-x><c-k><c-k> => <c-k> is not remapped

Life.
