I have ttyctl -f, not because I'm terribly clever, but because it came
from a sample somewhere in a zsh distribution.
I do see that stty may not be the best solution in some cases, e.g.,
remote logins may need ^?, while local logins may need ^h, or v.v. To
me it is better to detect the source and use stty. The function
solution to me is a bit too brittle. You can make a reasonable argument
for either solution.
