In c-mode (and may be in derived modes too) it would be nice if
electric-pair-mode removes following '>' (if any) on deleting '<' with
backspace by default.
Say for example, in the following code (| is the `point'):
#include <|>
a backspace would result in:
#include |
Thanks

I think this sounds like it would be very difficult to get right without
too many false positives... and it seems beyond the remit of this
mode. I mean, the mode doesn't even do this for normal parenthesis.
So I'm closing this bug report.

Hm... I thought I tested that...
Oh, it'll remove the pair if that pair has been inserted by
electric-pair-mode, but not if it was present in the buffer already?
