Thatʼs awesome!

So when I have the ordinal indicators both on *one* key because I need the A and O for German precomposed, and have the º in the Base shift state and the ª in the Shift shift state (because the primary locale is French, which does use º but not ª, and BTW the ñÑ is on N, too), may I be accused of discrimination? If so, I must remove the ordinal indicators from the [I] key and have them in Compose only (Compose, a, _; Compose, o, _).
