* existing legacy keysym values in the range 0x0100 to 0x20ff.
*
* Where several mnemonic names are defined for the same keysym in this
- * file, all but the first one listed should be considered deprecated,
- * unless the comment explicitly states the alias, e.g.:
+ * file, the first one listed is considered the "canonical" name. This
+ * is the name that should be used when retrieving a keysym name from
+ * its code. The next names are considered "aliases" to the canonical
+ * name.
+ *
+ * Aliases are made explicit by writing in their comment "alias for",
+ * followed by the corresponding canonical name. Example:
*
* #define XK_dead_tilde 0xfe53
* #define XK_dead_perispomeni 0xfe53 // alias for dead_tilde
*
- * Additionally, a keysym can be explicitly deprecated by starting the
- * comment with "deprecated".
+ * The rules to consider a keysym mnemonic name deprecated are:
+ *
+ * 1. A legacy keysym with its Unicode mapping in parentheses is
+ * deprecated (see above).
+ *
+ * 2. A keysym name is *explicitly* deprecated by starting its comment
+ * with "deprecated". Examples:
+ *
+ * #define XK_L1 0xffc8 // deprecated alias for F11
+ * #define XK_quoteleft 0x0060 // deprecated
+ *
+ * 3. A keysym name is *explicitly* *not* deprecated by starting its
+ * comment with "non-deprecated alias". Examples:
+ *
+ * #define XK_dead_tilde 0xfe53
+ * #define XK_dead_perispomeni 0xfe53 // non-deprecated alias for dead_tilde
+ *
+ * 4. If none of the previous rules apply, an alias is *implicitly*
+ * deprecated if there is at least one previous name for the
+ * corresponding keysym that is *not* explicitly deprecated.
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ *
+ * // SingleCandidate is the canonical name
+ * #define XK_SingleCandidate 0xff3c
+ * // Hangul_SingleCandidate is deprecated because it is an alias
+ * // and it does not start with "non-deprecated alias"
+ * #define XK_Hangul_SingleCandidate 0xff3c // Single candidate
+ *
+ * // guillemotleft is the canonical name, but it is deprecated
+ * #define XK_guillemotleft 0x00ab // deprecated alias for guillemetleft (misspelling)
+ * // guillemetleft is not deprecated, because the keysym has no endorsed name before it.
+ * #define XK_guillemetleft 0x00ab // U+00AB LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
+ * // The following hypothetical name is deprecated because guillemetleft come before.
+ * #define XK_guillemetleft2 0x00ab
*
* Mnemonic names for keysyms are defined in this file with lines
* that match one of these Perl regular expressions:
