(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

As far as I can tell, 1) doesn't exist any more, and I'm not quite sure
I understand 2) (I've never used delsel mode).

Is this something that still needs work, or has what this bug report is
about been fixed in the years since it was filed?
