It's not a matter of giving users more choice or finer control, but of
correctness.  How will you handle the case where the key labeled Caps
Lock is, in all functional respects, Ctrl, and that labeled Ctrl serves
another purpose that renders it simply unavailable to Emacs?

But let me pose a different question: why do you need to distinguish
between left and right modifier keys?
