The control key is not the major cause of `sore finger syndrome'.  It
is that !#*()% `<>' key between Z and SHIFT.

Now, if I could make <> act like SHIFT. . . .  The MIT xmodmap manual
seems to imply that

	xmodmap -e 'keycode 201 = Shift_L'
	xmodmap -e 'add Shift = Shift_L'

should work, but it fails silently (the <> key does nothing at all).
Changing both Shift_Ls to Shift_Rs causes the following error:

	[gyre122] xmodmap -e 'keycode 201 = Shift_R'
	[gyre123] xmodmap -e 'add shift = Shift_R'
	xmodmap: bad set modifier mapping.
