Bzzt. On an average keyboard, about 50% of the alt-ed space is not
marked and let to the implementators discretion. Without going into
Canadian six-level key complexity, four-level xkb layouts are the norm
and I dare you to find a keyboard where all four levels are marked.
So you're infringing on shortcut space instead? Well... as long as you
aren't using letters I suppose that isn't horrible (or else, using
alt+shift), but doesn't solve how to tell people such key combinations
exist in the first place.
(Sigh. I need to file a bug against TB not defaulting to utf8.)
