+Allows you to create a sub-mapping of keys. Example:
+
+ , ((modMask, xK_a), submap . M.fromList $
+ [ ((0, xK_n), spawn "mpc next")
+ , ((0, xK_p), spawn "mpc prev")
+ , ((0, xK_z), spawn "mpc random")
+ , ((0, xK_space), spawn "mpc toggle")
+ ])
+
+So, for example, to run 'spawn "mpc next"', you would hit mod-a (to trigger the
+submapping) and then 'n' to run that action. (0 means "no modifier"). You are,
+of course, free to use any combination of modifiers in the submapping. However,
+anyModifier will not work, because that is a special value passed to XGrabKey()
+and not an actual modifier.
