Does the other thread talk about other bugs that would be fixed?

Richard didn't seem to like the idea of adding a new feature for this,
but it _sounds_ pretty simple (to add an unconditional translation
layer), and if it fixes other bugs too... well... I dunno.

BTW, do we really care about user bindings of S-TAB that much? 
Couldn't we just tell them to bind backtab instead?  It seems very
likely that most user code that binds S-TAB does same thing as the
packages we've discussed in this thread (bind 2-3 variants but
essentially meaning backtab), and would either already work with
backtab, or it it would be clean to modify them to bind backtab too.
