Just in case somebody may try to use this table:

I got this table (what is primary/secondary) by inspecting the
output of MSKLC.  Turned out one cannot trust this output: MSKLC
reports not the current table in the layout, but what it thinks is a
“reasonable representation” (reordering keys, which is WRONG!).

Doing experiments with the buggy Emacs (and with a fixed one ;-) I see
that the actual table is much more reasonable (with one apparent bug
 — see `=´ — uncovered ;-):

  Primary:      US-!    US-`    US-?	US->	US-<     A-US-=	  US-/
  Secondary:    A-US-+  A-US-;  A-US-_  A-US-:	A-US-?   US--	  A-US--
  Produce:      +       ;       _       :       ?        =        -

Yours,
Ilya
