`delete` key modifier includes backspace?

This is a bit confusing to me. I expected my event to only be triggered by the Delete key, but it's also being triggered by the Backspace key.

I see that keyCodes.delete includes the keycodes for both Backspace & Delete.

Would it not make more sense for keyCodes.delete to just be the Delete key? A new keyCode could be added for the Backspace key.

See #2211

This is an intentional decision, and probably will remain so because changing it would be breaking. It is pretty straightforward to workaround it by using explicit keyCodes.

I would never have guessed the current functionality because I've never used a Mac keyboard, so the problem described in #2211 is a non-issue for me and the solution only created confusion on my part.

I feel like the docs should at least state that "delete" handles both the Delete key & Backspace key (if user's keyboard has it). I created a PR if you're interested. vuejs/v2.vuejs.org#385
