If you want to use CapsLock as a modifier, just do what speakup does. When you want to toggle it hold down the shift key and press the CapsLock key. This way you don't have to worry about double presses.
There are some NVDA commands that use modifier+shift. If we made shift+modifier pass the key through, you would have to press modifier+shift+key for those commands; shift+modifier+key wouldn't work. This makes things pretty complicated and it would be easy to mess this up. Also, shift has to be passed through to the application regardless and there are cases where shift+insert would do something different to just insert. Whatever gets used for pass through needs ot be consistent.
