You are right - it was just "easier" for me to change one line than to
delete three of them. :)  Actually, I didn't verify that those three
lines apply exactly to the case where 0x10F already is the backtab code,
so it seemed safer to make it explicit.

Although "in case it changes" may be a valid reason to keep it, that's
up to you.
