In that case, shouldn’t key-description work as is?  The package shouldn’t assume a specific set of modifiers, of course.

Yes.

Hmm, do you mean key-binding?

I think I agree!  It would be pretty easy to do.  

The following functions in keymap.c appear to be responsible:

Flookup_key
Fevent_convert_list
parse_solitary_modifier
