This thought just struck me, after struggling with DeadKeyConvert for
the n'th time:

	Why not add the feature to Intuition that, when both
	RAWKEY and VANILLAKEY are specified in an IDCMP port's
	flags, VANILLAKEY events are sent for those keys which
	have mappings and RAWKEY events are sent for all other
	keys?

For those of us who just want to grab the HELP and arrow keys as
well as standard keyboard keys, this would be a great timesaver
in programming (I'll bet that the number of programs that do
incorrect key mapping will decrease, as well).
