The current defaults are:

<S-tab>   aliased to TAB
<backtab> unbound

As far as I can tell, <backtab> and <S-tab> are generated for the same
keys on different terminals (or do some terminals have a separate
backtab key?).

So it may be more consistent for the defaults to be:

<S-tab>   aliased to backtab
<backtab> aliased to TAB


Then if a mode like help-mode defines an alternate binding for
backtab, S-tab will automatically follow. We'd have to check the
codebase for S-tab bindings and change them to bind backtab instead to
maintain consistency.
