Because keyboard layouts vary, the shift-modifier `<s-…>` is only supported
for special keys (like `<up>` and `<home>`) and for ASCII lowercase where
we assume the shift-modifier just produces the matching uppercase character.
Even that's not universally true, since in Turkish `i` and `I` are not an
uppercase/lowercase pair, but Kakoune's default keyboard mappings already
assume en-US mappings for mnemonic purposes.
Mappings of the form `<s-x>` are normalized to `<X>` when `x` is an ASCII
character. `<backtab>` is removed, since we can now say `<s-tab>`.
Expanding the `kak_assert` macro to either an `if` statement or nothing
leads to issues when the macro is used in a conditional statement that
doesn't use braces.
Example: ncurses_ui.cc:476, in non debug mode, the macro will expand to
an empty line, resulting in the `ungetch` call not being executed if the
`ioctl` call succeeds (line 448).
