I suppose that with regard to this problem, it suffices to 
apply KNOWN_MODIFIERS_MASK -- recently removed as redundant,
so rollback -- in the 'ioncore_unmod' and such functions. 
They're merely used to check that all modifiers have been 
released. But we only have to care about those modifiers
that we ourselves use; it doesn't matter if modifiers we
don't know about are still held, because we shouldn't get
to handle any repeated presses then, if it was a properly
handled additional modifier -- and the vomit-inducing Xkb
masks others anyway. (That is, if AltGr is both Mod3 and
Mode_Switch, we never see the Mod3 -- or does it actually
show it in events for grabs on it? *puke*, if it does.)
