IMHO we should add them. There are existing keyboards, and they seem to have
a somewhat reasonable meaning, so ...

The problem with that is, that it complicates the emulation stuff quite a
bit, if it shall stay effective.

However LibGGI2D has ROPs, IIRC. And I think we should do it "right", i.e.
implement them all or none at a given level/in a given library.
