Depends on the terminal. At least S-tab is sometimes recognizable as

Hmm... so, in all keymaps that want to bind a backwards tab, you'd have to do
this to make everyone happy:
(define-key map [backtab] 'backward-button)
(define-key map [(shift tab)] 'backward-button)
(define-key map [iso-lefttab] 'backward-button)
(define-key map [(shift iso-lefttab)] 'backward-button)
Ugh. Why not force the window terminal customizations (e.g., w32-term.el) to
"bind" such tabs to [backtab], just like x-win.el already does:
(define-key function-key-map [(shift tab)] [backtab])
(define-key map [iso-lefttab] 'backward-button)
(define-key map [(shift iso-lefttab)] 'backward-button)
So far, the only downside I've seen is that pressing Shift-TAB in a buffer that doesn't bind
<backtab> causes a "<backtab> is undefined" error, instead of translating to
plain ol' TAB.
