Standarized prompt? Why on earth would you want to do that? It has nothing
to do with app portability and users can change their prompt anyway
so apps can't depend on this. Standardizing htis is of absoultely no value.

Having standard BS/Del behavior would fit into the terminal specification
I think. However, we should keep in mind termios and not specify apps that
won't work via telnet or remote displays.
