 [In Python mode] ... I did not feel this behaviour as unnatural, so
 I think I like it. 
One person who won't complain.  I'm glad to know that I'm not
completely insane.

 Nope. [but this may actually start a kind of delete/backspace
discussion and
 may end in some theme -- the 'smart' theme ;-) -- or it ends on the custom
 group with all those options we can not decide on.] 
I don't think that this is the same as backspace/delete.  The issue
the delete-key-deletes-forward haters had was that they didn't want
the "key above <enter>" to delete forwards on any keyboard.

If I were suggesting that <enter> should run `open-line', then I could
see a similar battle (with no one on my side).
