I use it to obtain additional symbols, I map it to the left "Alt" key
(which I don't map to Alt of course), that's how MacOS obtains the
|,{,},etc... on intl keyboards (read: non-us).
It sort-of is the "new" way to do it instead of switching groups with
Mode_switch. A bunch of intl keymaps are supposed to use it nowadays, I
suspect AltGr will be defined as that in the future.

Ah, could be ! I think it didn't happen before my upgrade a few days
ago, but then, I'm also just switching from xemacs to emacs so it's a
bit difficult to say. I suppose I could be emacs myself without the
patch to confirm that, but I would need some help I suppose, as I've
never been close to trying to build that monster before :)
