Wow, now I know why Jordan's so pissed off about this discussion.... My
home machine's been down for a while and I've only read the stuff
cc'd to me at work !
All I'm suggesting now is the above - erase = ^h by default and the
stty is removed from /.profile (and whatever other . files have it).
This will break very little existing hacks and will make things
consistent (even X should work by default). Whether it's right
or wrong, I don't care - I don't believe in religion.
Any disagreements (please, nobody answer) ?
