There's no DEL key on Windows, only <Delete>, which is remapped to
C-d.  Maybe the command should distinguish whether it was run by C-d
or <Delete>, and behave differently wrt the active region.

Deleting an active region with Backspace is a bad idea, IMO: that's
not how other apps behave, while this feature exists to be compatible
with other apps.
