How about an M camera with an autofocus indicator.

It could work with all the existing lenses. An
electronic range finder in parallel with the existing
one would light up a pair of familiar led arrows.
Focussing would still be carried out by manually
turning the lens barrel of EXISTING lenses.

This is very much in the spirit of the M6 light
meter. One could still ignore the electronic
range finder output, or if batteries are dead,
and focus using the split image which could still
be left in place.
