These can be useful in some odd cases.
There is already an implementation (+ tests) for internal use, so all
that's needed is to export them.
If xkbcommon were to provide a way to convert a Unicode codepoint to a
keysym, this could have been implemented externally as follows:
uint32_t codepoint = xkb_keysym_to_utf32(keysym);
uint32_t upper_codepoint = my_unicode_library_to_upper(codepoint);
xkb_keysym_t upper_keysym = theoretical_xkb_keysym_from_utf32(upper_codepoint);
However keysym -> codepoint is not injective so such a function is not
possible strictly speaking.

And also add release dates to the NEWS.
We're adding API freely, so this can make life easier for anyone who
wants to stay compatible with an older version.

Add a NEWS file, with some retroactive entries. Also add 'check-news' to
configure.ac, though this might be a bit annoying.
