Well, I purposedly mentioned the word "keybindings" above since that's
more akin to the use of remapping I'm making use. In particular, I'm
using:
% cat /etc/kbd/remap
# This sed script is run across the dumpkeys output to remap keys on the
console
$a\
alt keycode 36 = Incr_Console \
alt keycode 37 = Decr_Console
So I doubt that's going to be supported out of the box, and rightfully so.

Well, as seen above, I'm wanting a rather console-specific mapping, and
other people could want for completely different keys, so I can't see
how that could fit for xkb-data.

I see. Well, what procedure would you recommend for my use case above? :-)
