yes. it has.

yes.

because when we want to bind keys dynamically, there is no clean way
to specify the -1 parameter.  Getting rid of it required introduced
the restriction that over modification is no longer possible.

If you want C-ta and C-tC-a to do the same thing, bind both keys,
simple as that.  This is what screen seems to do, there are duplicate
bindings for things like next window (n & ^n).

We could test to see if the key matches with >= modification, but it
would require keeping the keybinding list sorted in decreasing order
of modifier state bits.  Too much code for my liking.
