I also found it used in term/keyswap.el. Is that obsolete too? I
have been meaning to complain about that code, as it seems to
unconditionally swap ^h and DEL, and provide no way of undoing it (of
course one can just set keyboard-translate-table to nil manually). In
addition, it seems to assume that keyboard-translate-table is not used
beofre it's loaded---it simply overwrites it. Is this superceded by
normal-erase-is-backspace-mode? Should it be declared obsolete?
