I got it. They are very popular (in Japan, too). It was
forgotten since my keyboards has no such keys.

I have added Super and Hyper modifier key support to uim. It is
basically working on gtk-im-uim and uim-xim, but it has a little
restriction. Since uim treats right and left modifier key as
unified symbol, Super_L and Super_R cannot be distinguished (for
now).

You can use <Super> and <Hyper> modifiers in define-key as
follows without xmodmapping, if your desktop environment was
born for uim.

You're right. define-key is implemented as C function because
uim's Scheme interpreter not supports user defined macro.

define-key is just a thin wrapper for define-key-internal
(written in Scheme).

  (define-key foo-key? "<Control>a")
               |
               V
  (define-key-internal 'foo-key? "<Control>a")


P.S.
uim has entirely define-key-nized now. See you next release!
