(info "(elisp)Ctl-Char Syntax")
For historical reasons, Emacs treats the <DEL> character as the
control equivalent of `?':
?\^? => 127 ?\C-? => 127
As a result, it is currently not possible to represent the character
`Control-?', which is a meaningful input character under X, using
`\C-'. It is not easy to change this, as various Lisp files refer to
<DEL> in this way.
Let's add a comment at those places referring to this.
Would someone please install this change?
