Currently the user has no way of knowing which of the active modifiers
have been used in the translation of a keycode to its keysyms. The use
case is described in the GTK docs: say there's a menu accelerator
activated by "<Alt>+". Some layouts have "+" shifted, and some have it
on the first level. So in keymaps where "+" is shifted, the Shift
modifier is consumed and must be ignored when the user is testing
for "<Alt>+". Otherwise, we may get "<Alt><Shift>+" and the accelerator
should not actually fire.
For this we also use the preserve[] information in the key types, which
can forces us to report modifiers as unconsumed even if they were used
in the translation. Until now we didn't do anything with this
information.
The API tries to match its surronding. It's not very efficient but this
can be fixed.

The program reads key events from evdev input devices, puts them through
the library and prints some information about them. It's nice for
experimenting, quick testing and trying to break it with random stuff
(already found some!).
It is called "interactive" for lack of a better name. It's a bit
hackish, but can easily be extended, made more portable etc, in the
future.
