Libxkbcommon is more flexible and modern in term of looking to ~/.xkb
and ~/.config/xkb as well as /usr/share/X11/xkb for config, but
unfortunately X11(?) isn't, and will only look into the system path.
Except for a single `custom` layout left free:

- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/merge_requests/189/diffs
Also while libxkbcommon seems to rely more on rules files, X11 and so
setxkbmap seems to rely more on the xml descriptors. (supposition)
Also xorg's XKB rules syntax doesn't have %S or %H for recursive includes
`strace` is a very good tool to debug this mess.
Most people on the internet seem to rely on editing existing layout,
which feels icky to me.
