People do this a lot around here.  Due to the extremely poor placement
of the '{' and '}' keys, right-alt-shifted-7 and right-alt-shifted-0
(yuck!) people who need to type braces at speed pop in and out of
us-ascii all the time.  I suspect these days there are less invasive ways
to say 'change my keyboard layout' but this is what people have become
used to.
