Have an example of where that would be useful?

I've encountered variation among programs for line delete and character 
delete.  Various HP 21xx systems used DEL, ESC, and CTRL+X for line delete, 
and BS, CTRL+A, and underscore for character delete.  It'd be useful to 
remap those, so I wouldn't have to remember which program used which key.

Also, some HP systems used CR + LF for line terminator.  Others used CR 
alone.  Again, it's nice to remap ENTER to CR + LF for those systems that 
require it, so that one need not remember to hit CTRL+J after ENTER.  (In 
fact, that's already implemented locally for the HP simulator with the 
"AUTO LF" option on the TTY device.)

Beyond that, I haven't encountered a situation where remapping would be 
helpful.
