Yes, you're right.  And, in fact, we do have it.

But the "us" layout also has an alternative "olpc2" layout
that makes the multiply/divide key act as a mode switch
by default (and moves the old symbols to alt-qualified).

The default is good for using the "us" layout alone.
If you use us as part of a multi layout set, then you
may prefer to use the "olpc2" layout for consistency.

That's the way I understood the issue.  Does it sound
reasonable?
