fair enough. I skipped it at first because if you have the numeric value
already you can just compare e.type and e.code, but it'd be nice for
consistency. Having said that, the current internal APIs make this more
convoluted than necessary, so I'll hold this patch back until your
libevdev-integration patch is in.
