Re: 23.0.50; delete vs deletechar

[T. V. Raman]

On the Linux console:

Press the <delete> key (the one under the insert key)
running on the console.

In emacs22 that produces [delete] 
in emacs 23 that produces [<deletechar>]

Similarly for [insert] vs [<insertchar>]

Does this matter?

Well, of course it does if your code binds these keys in other
keymaps e.g. emacspeak uses C-e <delete> and c-e<insert> as
special keys; now I need to rebind them appropriately.
