Set 'backspace' to some sensible value ("indent,eol,start") and place
the cursor in the middle of some line of text. Then try these:
a<C-U>
deletes to the beginning of the line
afoo<C-U>
deletes just "foo"
afoo<C-U><C-U>
deletes "foo", then to the beginning of the line
afoo<Left><Left><Left><C-U>
deletes everything before "foo"
Apparently <C-U> deletes backwards to the beginning of the line, unless
the cursor is just past some newly entered text, in which case it
deletes backwards to the beginning of the entered text.
This dual behaviour doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.
