    As far as I can tell, Emacs currently just ignores the right Alt.

Why does Emacs ignore the right Alt key?  It seems to me that
(at least normally) it should be equivalent to the left Alt key.

I would not mind if some other feature were optionally added to it,
but we should not think about that now.
