(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately didn't get any
response at the time.)

That seems like a logical addition, but I wonder whether there may be
users who are used to `C-S-backspace' killing the entire physical line
in visual line mode, too.

The utility of having that keystroke killing just the visual line seems
limited -- that functionality is already as `C-a C-k', which is about as
many keys, while having `C-S-backspace' do that it does now seems more
useful.

So I'm inclined to not alter the behaviour here.  Anybody got an
opinion?
