If bash can, why not Speakup?

[Albert Sten-Clanton]

In addition to the suggestion below, I'd very much like to hear the
characters I'm backspacing over.  I asked about this a few years ago, but I
gathered that this wasn't easy to do.  Any thoughts?

You can disable that line by putting the following line in your
~/.vimrc:

Yes, something like this would take modifications to vim to make it
communicate to speakup some how, and I'm not sure what that would involve
since I haven't looked at the vim code at all.
