This was originally based on the default keyboard map, but I have been
doing sundry experimentation:

1. Useful Experiments
----------------------------------------
* To figure things out about the toolset
* I'm an Emacs guy, so will be needing a fair bit of tuning
* It made sense to mess around some with keyboard maps.
- I tried added Workman alongside Dvorak and Colemak
- Boy, oh boy, these don't help!!!
- I have done 30 years of learning of Emacs key mappings, and
these alternative keyboards massively mess me up
- I added a keypad, originally based on keymaps/numpad.c, but
mighty substantially revised, as that one seems to be rotated 90

- Key [3][2] aka "z" uses a random number generator to select a letter a-z at random
- Key [1][3] aka "e" spits out the keymap version number
* Minor use of Space Cadet Shift; my SHIFT key has switched to KC_LSP0, so that when I just hit SHIFT, I get a left parens: ( which is great for Lisping. I don't have a Right Shift, so I don't get an autoclose; I think I'll live with that until a Planck successor with more lines of keys :-)
2. Some code structure ideas

* I do not presently have anything that handles X11 screen
switching, as with Control-Alt-various
* I ought to probably look into KC_LEAD, to have some key combos
that do not need to be concurrent
