Well, I considered to set up another filter via XkbFilterRec and
_XkbApplyFilters() but xkbi->filters is a vector. If one need to cancel
the delay switching then the vector have to be gone all round to
deactivate the filter. I think another flag in xkbi->state is more natural.

Yes, you meant right, unrelated key/another modifier/whatever. But I've
found out how to do it yet, the right way.

I would like that option doesn't make any side effect on XKB despite
itself. There are much not so clear code in XKB out there for me, like
XkbCharToInt(v)... But I want to try to fix the issue.
