Could anyone enlighten me as to just how `special' BS/Delete processing
is? Do they receive special treatment in the C code or is it just that
every package binds backward deletion operations to the Delete key?

I wouldn't want to change the help key from C-h either, but what's
that got to do with BS/Delete processing?

IMO it should be the minority of users who absolutely *cannot*
separate BS from C-h who have to load a fix package, not the majority
who use either X or a terminal that can use \177 for BS and \e[3~ for
Delete.
