Well honestly i saw it useful since there are already 2 packages in
MELPA that provides this, i thought that Emacs can provide this
built-in, but given the low interest, I'm closing this.

Tags: patch

Hello,

This patch adds a new command similar to
`backward-delete-char-untabify`, but intended to be used forward.

I had originally planned to add the `untabify` method like
`backward-delete-char-untabify`, but I found a few bugs while testing it
(the reason is annotated in the patch), so I decided to keep the hungry
methods.
