I see two ways to improve (or fix) the currrent behaviour:
1) Modify define-key so that it will recognize DEL, TAB, etc as
synonymous for the actual characters.
I see no improvement here--but I am not really sure what this
concretely means. What action would you change the meaning of?
What would you make it do?
Anyway, what does TAB have to do with this? We have not made any
change in the handling of TAB recently; if you redefine "\t", it will
work just as it always did.
2) Modify define-key so that, when binding a key which maps to DEL in
function-key-map, DEL is mapped instead - unless a new optional
argument NO-REMAP is non-nil.
This might perhaps be a good idea. But it might be better just to
signal an error--that way, people will learn to bind the key they
ought to bind.
