bash doesn't have a "system-wide inputrc" (although you /could/ make 
one that way). The only file mentioned in the man page is ~/.inputrc.

If you set the environment variable INPUTRC to /etc/inputrc, 
~/.inputrc won't be parsed.

You can include any file with "$include". So if /etc/inputrc exists, 
you may want to source it with...

,--- * .bashrc
| # Make *my* settings work (despite of any "export INPUTRC=" in
| # /etc/profile)
| 
| unset INPUTRC
`---

,--- * ~/.inputrc
| # But only my settings where opposed to /etc/inputrc
| $include /etc/inputrc
| 
| "\e[3~":  delete-char
| 
| # etc., etc.
`---

or...

,--- * /etc/profile
| export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
`---

,--- * /etc/inputrc
| "\e[3~":  delete-char
|
| $include ~/.inputrc
`---
