<pre>We already use the term "significant mods" for another (related) concept so
that's not a good name: <a href="http://xkbcommon.org/doc/0.5.0/group__state.html">http://xkbcommon.org/doc/0.5.0/group__state.html</a>
I believe I stole the term from GTK but not sure. (That doc section needs some
fixing or scraping BTW).
I actually like the 2 because it's pretty unambiguous what it means - works for
linux :) And adding a new term will make things even more confusing. There's
also microsoft-style "_ex" or "_ext" instead of 2:
