well, that's the issue with the whole thing (Erik and me discussed that a
bit):
keysymdef.h states that XK_implies is U+21D2 RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW.
in mathematics, this is the usual symbol for "implies".
however, according to http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2200.pdf (p 207),
"implies" is an alias for RIGHT TACK.
so basically: either the comment is wrong, or the code is wrong. we have to
pick whether we want to go with unicode or mathematics.
As Erik pointed out, right tack does have its own symbol XK_righttack, whereas
there's no other XK_... for the double right arrow.
Cheers,
Peter
