Backspace does not remove a character and is instead included as a byte

It looks like getpass does not understand keys like backspace:

raku -e'use Terminal::Getpass; say getpass().ords'
# input, replace <BS> by hitting the backspace key: abc<BS><BS><BS>def
# output: (97 98 99 127 127 100 101 102)
# expected: (100 101 102)

Terminal::Readsecret handles this correctly:

raku -e'use Terminal::Readsecret; say getsecret("Password: ").ords'
# input, replace <BS> by hitting the backspace key: abc<BS><BS><BS>def
# output: (100 101 102)

This is on Linux, specifically Fedora 32. I've seen this with xterm and xfce4-terminal.

It would also be nice if ctrl+u was able to delete the whole line and other keys (like arrows) were ignored. I realize that starts getting complex though depending on the terminal mode used.

@avuserow Thanks for your comment and sorry for my late reply.
I've solved the backspace issue since version 0.0.8.

It would also be nice if ctrl+u was able to delete the whole line and other keys (like arrows) were ignored.

Thanks for your advice! I'll try to solve these issues in the future version.
