NSResponder's action methods, such as deleteBackwards, only get called
if some object in the responder chain calls -[NSResponder
interpretKeyEvents:] on events as they come in.  NSTableView doesn't
do that, it just catches a few specific events in -[NSTableView
keyDown:] and lets the rest drop through.
