How about another mode-specific layer analogous to the way
`indent-line-function' specifies how indent-according-to-mode
works.  `electric-delete-backwards-function' can specify how
`electric-delete-backwards' works.  That way a user can bind DEL
to `electric-delete-backwards' and not have to figure out per-mode
how to do it.

The default can be something that acts like cc-mode's
c-electric-backspace.
