It was pointed out to me that it would be useful to set this behaviour individually for either Option key.
This can be accomplished in various ways. For example, ns-alternate-modifier-char-entry could be changed from a boolean into taking either of the values nil, left, right or both, indicating to which Option key it applies.
Or we could simply use two separate boolean variables. I'd appreciate advice from the NS maintainers about what practice is best.
