As Steve says, the distinction is not one that is important to present
to users. You don't care if you have an extra symbol on a key you don't
have. You *would* care if you end up with an important symbol you can't
type because you don't have the relevant key (this happens with
Brazilian, where "/" goes on the 106th key ...), but if that happens
you're using the wrong layout anyway.
