Request: backspace escape character

I think it would be helpful to add a "~b" escape character to represent a backspace. Then Asc("~b") can be used among other things. Could this be added into the next BlitzMax version?

* fails to see why, but .. I'm open to all explanations!

When detecting the key press of a backspace in a EVENT_KEYCHAR, you need the ascii value, so Asc("~b") would be great, but I have to use 8.

Why not just use KeyHit?

If KeyHit(Key_Backspace)
