I've been pondering about this a little bit more, and I think
what I'd really like to see is a simpler, higher-level key
translation API that doesn't force me to care about the various
keyboard layout formats (KCHR, uchr, etc.) but just takes a
TISInputSourceRef (or NULL, referring to the currently selected
keyboard).  Something like this:

CFStringRef
TISKeyTranslate (
    TISInputSourceRef   inKeyboardInputSource,    // NULL = current keyboard
    UInt16              inVirtualKeyCode,
    UInt16              inKeyAction,
    UInt32              inModifiers,
    OptionBits          inKeyTranslateOptions,
    UInt32 *            ioDeadKeyState            // can be NULL
);


                                        -- marco

They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely
monetized. I look at the collective human mind as a kind of
ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
