FWIW, I've just noticed that when `electric-pair-mode' is enabled in
c-mode, it's `electric-pair-backward-delete-char' command it not
working, since c-mode rebinds it to `c-electric-backspace'.

It works when I unbind `c-electric-backspace' from
`c-mode-base-map'. All other autopairing/autoskipping works well.

Perhaps a lesser problem since `electric-pair-mode' is not enabled by
default.

There might also be non-intrusive solutions on elec-pair.el's
side. Other modes like python-mode also like to redefine the backspace
key. They all seem to call backward-delete-char-untabify eventually, so
maybe somehow transferring `electric-pair-mode's behaviour there is a
good idea.

Should I open a bug report?
