This isn't such a common case; consider that when you are checking for
Unicode values, you nearly always *also* want to check for scancodes,
since you need to interpret navigational controls (up, down, left,
right), function keys, etc.

I can't see any clean way of handling the `check for a Unicode value,
but return a scancode if you can't convert the keypress to Unicode' way
of doing things unless the whole thing is returned at once. And I think
a single 32-bit int beats anything with structures, pointers or
whatever.

Bye for now,
