I see that this has already been committed. I'm not going to argue
with that (I think it was a good idea), but there are other issues in
the tree.
The issue that I have is that there are many places in the tree where
the erase character is known and things are done based on it. Will
all of those be updated to have the two aces? There's a hack in hack
right now:
./games/hack/hack.tty.c: if(c == erase_char || c == '\b') {
as well as other examples in the tree.
Talk also has a provision for transporting these characters over the
interface. If both were allowed, some translation would also be
needed.
