New issue 380 by vogt.adam: Infer shiftMask given keysyms that otherwise  
will not be received
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=380

What steps will reproduce the problem?
A keybinding to    (0, xK_plus)  doesn't work



What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead you have to bind to: (shiftMask, xK_equal)

Maybe doing this correctly regardless of the keymap isn't possible, but
perhaps a reasonable approximation can be done like this:

   * if the keymap contains 'unreachable keys' like "M-+", grab "M-+" and
"M-S-="
   * if we actually get a "M-+", ungrab the "M-S-=", and run the normal
action for "M-+"

This can be done with a handleEventHook outside of core, but for users, the
current workaround is probably easier having an optional handleEventHook to
EZConfig (note how uncommon the use of the optional startupHook from that
module is).
