On Unix systems since around 7th Edition, one can bind any input
character to the INTR function, and the DEL character was the
default (somewhat confused by Berkeleyites who tried to change
to DEC OS conventions: ^C -> INTR, DEL -> char-erase, etc.).
^? is just a way of representing the ASCII DEL character using
printable notation; the actual character is still DEL (0x7F).
