Draft: RFC: add French and Belgian variants where CapsLock gives digits on top row
The Azerty keyboards used in France and Belgium have the digits on the shift level instead of on the base level of the top row. In Windows the corresponding layouts have the curious characteristic that CapsLock locks also the digits, meaning that some users have acquired the habit of engaging CapsLock when they need to type some digits. Serve these users by providing two variants that behave the way they know.
(By the way, the Bépo variants for France behave that way too.)
Telling those users to instead use the option caps:shiftlock is not
helpful, as ShiftLock behaves quite different: it affects all keys
(also the cursor keys, for example), and it is not temporarily
cancelled by holding Shift.
The disadvantage of these new variants is that with them it is not possible to type the uppercase À, È, É and Ç.
