It's likely possible, by adjusting the keymap to map the left and right
mod keys to different modifiers, and then specifying which modifiers can
be used with each various key (actually, there might not be enough
modifiers available to do this with shift, ctrl, AND alt). It would be a
lot of work, but I can imagine there would be a small but devoted user
base for such a keymap :-)
