Further down, the manual says:
`C-S-backspace' (`kill-whole-line') kills a whole line including its
newline, regardless of the position of point within the line. Note
that many text terminals will prevent you from typing the key sequence
`C-S-backspace'.
I'd rather not go hunting for a new key for this command, for the reason
that Glenn gave.
