To clarify, I spotted two issues that are tangled up -- here is
an attempt to separate them.
1. What should pressing the <delete> key on the linux console
deliver? [delete] or [deletechar] I ask this independent of
the command that that key invokes --- purely for knowing what
should be used in lisp code that binds that key.
2. When one launches Emacs on the console,
and then runs emacsclient at a different console,
should the new frame inherit normal-backspace-is-erase ? I
believe it should -- it currently does not.
