Right.  Modifier, in this case, means generates its own keysym, but
does not modify the scancode of the key that's just been pressed.

If you don't believe me that working your way back from modifier +
modified keysym to modified keysym is a nightmare, take a look at the
way the kernel's keyboard driver deals with SysRq, which, incidentally,
does just that.
