Yes, please!
I remember that XEmacs introduced the delete-key-deletes-forward at
some point and I still don't understand that magic.
I am not even sure whether this is the issue or whether it a question
of keeping C-h and BS apart.
Experts of the Back-Space, please come forward, we'll find you sooner
or later anyways, right Hrvoje, Jan, Martin?
Adrian, lost in Back Space.
