Looking more into it, it's really not easy. We cannot easily know whether the layout will include level3(ralt_switch), and so if ralt will be allocated to something. The base problem is that we have a default configuration that leads to a conflicting request: ralt+rshift to toggle group, and ralt to switch level3. I'm thinking that the default configuration should only enable lalt+lshift for toggling group, so that ralt+rshift can either remain the default Meta_R or level3 switch, depending on the layout, without conflicting with group toggle. That way, only people explictly requesting alt+shift (i.e. both lalt+lshift) will risk getting the conflict if they don't realize that it conflicts with they level3 switch.
