This is craziness having to do with modifier maps, and Denis Barbier could
explain it much better than I could.

On a real Macintosh keyboard, that's just about impossible due to the
electronic design of the caps lock key, as I understand it. The damnable
things actually "latch" in hardware. I'm a Mac user myself, and have
confirmed this as far as I'm able, which excludes actually busting the
keyboard (or laptop) open and attaching probes and logic analyzers and
stuff to it.
