Subject: [PATCH] Jonas Koelker points out that the backspace key didn't work
 in GTK Guess, because Guess expected ^H whereas GTK generated ^?. Other
 puzzles that use Backspace do it by being prepared to see either, which seems
 wasteful. Now the midend normalises both into ^H, so front ends can generate
 whichever they like while puzzles can safely just look for ^H.
