+// deadkeys.  This variation does not deviate from the lame MS-style
+// US-intl layout; but it uses AltGr for combining, like altgr-intl.
+//
+// This might break your font layout layout systems (because they
+// suck), caveat emptor.  Also, most of today's software will count
+// individual combining marks for selection, deletion, character
+// counting &c., and won't be smart enough to do canonical equivalence
+// when searching, &c.
+//
+// With Unicode combining you use "handwriting order", not
+// "typewriting order" as with deadkeys.  That is, you first type the
+// base character, then the diacritics/accents/modifiers.  This has
+// the advantage of avoiding hidden states --- each keypress changes
+// something on screen.
+//
+// TODO: as of now, this duplicates all us(intl) functionality with
+// combining.  With care, perhaps we could add more combining marks
+// not present in intl, and support all major languages.
