Ah, yes. Maybe a hint in the Keycodes description might encourage such a 
use case.

Ah, again. However, a custom mapping as mentioned might want to

so still I wouldn't map Control-~ and -` to already mapped ones.
Maybe extend the "Number and symbol keys" scheme, or use the 
modifyOtherKeys sequences here by default?
