for deleting a line or marked region without changing the

+cutbuffer, adds --zap to bind the <Del> and <Backspace>
keys to the zap function when something is marked, and
-hard-binds <Alt+Del> to 'zap'. Furthermore, it shows the
+hard-binds <Alt+Del> to 'zap'. Furthermore, it shows the
cursor also in the help viewer (when --showcursor is used),
renames the bindable functions 'prevhistory' to 'older' and
'nexthistory' to 'newer' (update your nanorcs when needed),
