In c-mode (and may be in derived modes too) it would be nice if
electric-pair-mode removes following '>' (if any) on deleting '<' with
backspace by default.

Say for example, in the following code (| is the `point'):
    #include <|>

a backspace would result in:
    #include |


Thanks

I think this sounds like it would be very difficult to get right without
too many false positives...  and it seems beyond the remit of this
mode.  I mean, the mode doesn't even do this for normal parenthesis.

So I'm closing this bug report.

It does for me.

Hm...  I thought I tested that...

Oh, it'll remove the pair if that pair has been inserted by
electric-pair-mode, but not if it was present in the buffer already?
