The system will usually prevent the key events from reaching the app if they
form a system-wide shortcut, so I don't think the app need check whether the
SystemAccel virtual modifier is set.  That may mean there is no need for
a SystemAccel feature.

The only exception might be that the events around press and release of the
key activating and deactivating the modifier would be sent to the app.
However, the modifier would be present on either the press or release event,
not both, so the value here is still limited.
