Then it's not what I have in mind. What I have in mind is the kind of
"electric backspace" seen in python-mode or in cc-mode. It can do
things like:
- delete hungrily all whitespace.
- delete to previous level of indentation.
Both of those are conceptually mode-independent (although the
implementation might be mode-dependent), just like M-; and others.
There is already the "untabify" version of backspace and I think we should
make it easier for people to change such things globally.
