BackTab key... where is it?

Hi all,

I cannot find the backtab key on my keyboard.

In haskell-mode.el there is:

(define-key map [backtab] 'unindent-for-tab-command)

It does not work for me. I use GNU Emacs 23.3.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0,
NS apple-appkit-949.54)
of 2011-10-25 on braeburn.aquamacs.org - Aquamacs Distribution 2.4.

This is Mac OS X with Aquaemacs.

The mention of backtab in google I've found is this:

M-TAB (echo-area-tab-insert) Shift-TAB (on DOS/Windows only)   Insert a TAB
character.  On DOS/Windows only, the Shift-TAB key is an alias for M-TAB.
This key is sometimes called `BackTab'.

So not highly relevant, but gives a clue that backtab should
be equivalent to shift-tab for me.

Might be relevant. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mon-keybindings.el binds
every possible representation of shift-tab:

(define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map (kbd "<S-iso-lefttab>")  'lisp-complete-symbol)
(define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map (kbd "<backtab>")  'lisp-complete-symbol)
(define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map (kbd "<S-tab>")  'lisp-complete-symbol)

Should haskell-mode do the same?
