If point is on the last line of the buffer and you hit <S-backspace>
(which runs the command kill-whole-line), you get an error: End of buffer

Evaluating the form

(progn
  (goto-char (point-max))
  (kill-whole-line)
  )

has the same effect, and buffer *Messages* will contain the line

if: End of buffer

I doubt that this behavior is desirable.
