For what it's worth, I've not liked the KP_* thing on Unix for ages irrespective
of what other platforms think about those keys.  It makes it more awkward to
code naturally-working keyboard bindings given that the vast majority of code
(even under X) ought to be treating those two keys the same.  By contrast, a
modifier for those extra keys would let people who need to know the difference
do so while making life easier for everyone else.

Only problem: keeping a reasonable degree of compatability for existing scripts
that currently handle this mess correctly.
