It doesn't work (I acutally tried it), and I know why. Perhaps my
description of the problem wasn't exact enough. Have a look at
# xmodmap -pke | grep section
keycode 39 = s S ssharp section
keycode 49 = section degree notsign
What I want to bind is keycode 49 with no modifier pressed. The loop
iterates through each keycode, and executes for keycode 39 the default
statement, and binds it. It doesn't care about the "better" match
(keycode 49), and binds both, with no modifiers, which makes the "s" key
unuseable. The result was, that without my patch, I was unable to bind
the section key properly.
What I would accept is that it binds to the "s" key only if no other
keycode is able to produce the section keysym. I thought about that, and
I think it would be more expensive to implement.

Please CC me any response, I am still not subscribed to the list.
