Actually you are not proposing to "fully honor the system differentiation of
the Alt keys". You are only proposing to make LEIM understand the
Mode_switch key. Emacs already obeys your system's setup where what you
think of as a "right alt key" is actually not an alt key but a Mode_switch.
As a matter of fact, it'd be hard for Emacs not to obey this differentiation
because as far as Emacs is concerned this is *not* an alt key in any sense
of the word (otherwise it would send an Alt_L or Alt_R event and it'd be
bound to some modifier bit rather than sending a Mode_switch event).
So as Eli said, please let's not add to confusion.
