   event:key:keysym:sym returns a symbol, but it would be nice if there
   was a way to get the actual integer value of the keysym as well.

   I'm writing an input module for a game library and I'm wrapping up the
   keycodes into their own enumeration with a  macro like so:

   (define-enumeration [...] ...)

   Unfortunately, this doesn't work because there's no way to get the
   keycode as integer.  I can see how returning a symbol is nice, but it
   would be also be nice to not hide the integer value underneath.

   Thoughts?

This code:

keysyms-alist.scm
Description: application/scheme

shows how to extract the underlying integer value using the Guile-SDL
reflection facilities.  Does that help?
