Bzzt. On an average keyboard, about 50% of the alt-ed space is not
marked and let to the implementators discretion. Without going into
Canadian six-level key complexity, four-level xkb layouts are the norm
and I dare you to find a keyboard where all four levels are marked.

No efforts are expended by console maintainers to make it keep up with
the curreent demands of human text. Its target is “debugging things gone
wrong” ¹

they are thinking X is the user interface full stop, except for
debug/things gone wrong.” (Alan Cox, 2008-12-01).
