    I'd suggest that if we start fiddling with such code, we introduce a generic
    way to electrify backspace.

I don't see how that makes any sense.  Only a few modes have any such
concept, and what it does is specific to each mode.

The only problem that needs to be solved here is the problem
that Python mode by default redefines Backspace in a manner
inconsistent with general the Emacs convention for Backspace.
