* bug#37447: 26.3; Commands on <delete> and <backspace>

Just a few thoughts about deleting and killing commands.

We have:
+ "Delete"
   - <deletechar> [<delete>] (delete-forward-char)
   - <C-delete> (kill-word)
   - M-DEL [<M-delete>] (backward-kill-word)

? Perhaps C-<delete> should do (backward-kill-word) and <M-delete>
   should (kill-word).  Then <M-delete> would be like 'M-d', which
   seems to be correct way.

+ "Backspace"
   - DEL [<backspace>] (delete-backward-char)
   - <C-backspace> (backward-kill-word)
   - M-DEL [M-<backspace>] (backward-kill-word)

? <C-backspace> as another (backward-kill-word) on the same button is
   useless(?), maybe change it to (backward-kill-sentence), because
   it's less typing than 'C-x DEL'?  And then (perhaps) assign 'C-x
   DEL' to new function "backward kill line" (kill-line with 0
   argument?).  OR let 'C-x DEL' backward kill sentence, and assign
   backward kill line to 'C-DEL'.

? Also perhaps rebind 'C-S-backspace' to 'C-M-backspace' for
   (kill-whole-line)?

C-M-DEL and ESC C-DEL should both run the same command.

<C-M-backspace> is undefined

ESC <C-backspace> (translated from <escape> <C-backspace>) runs the
command backward-kill-sexp (found in global-map), which is an
interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘lisp.el’.
It is bound to ESC <C-backspace>, ESC <C-delete>.

		Peace

P.S. Perhaps a missing translation?

M-DEL (translated from <M-backspace>) runs the command
backward-kill-word (found in global-map), which is an interactive
compiled Lisp function in ‘simple.el’.
It is bound to <C-backspace>, M-DEL.
