I can see where both of you are coming from.  Overall I sympathize with
the notion that mixing terminals with varying VERASE settings is trouble
which I realize doesn't come down cleanly on one side or the other.

So it sounds like there will be a feature in a future tmux that will be
mostly ok for you and thus you aren't still wanting to make netbsd-local
changes.
