No. Both <delete> and C-d, whether mapped together or not, should do what they
have always done in Emacs: delete the next char. Whether the region is active or
not.

Huh? That's how the Backspace key behaves in other apps on Windows, AFAICT.
(Well, "active region" is only an Emacs thing, but for Windows the selection is
deleted when you hit Backspace.)
