Ah, found it. I'd been looking for a ]-backspace combination inside the
files using grep, and couldn't find anything; hadn't thought to look at
the file names themselves. There is, indeed, an old file named simply
"]<backspace>"--which makes it slightly challenging to see unless you're
specifically hunting for it.
