Did svr2 have anything similar to modern behavior when

can't get it to do the rubout, because at least you can see the # in the input, but
if I can figure out how to get it to rubout the last character, I'd map erase to DEL,
which I believe to be ^U (but since it's invisible, it's confusing when it
doesn't rubout).

You should be able to do `stty erase \^H` and `stty echoe` to get the rubout behavior you
want with ^H (and of course you can combine them into one stty line)
