    That sounds useful, especially with multi-tty support.

    Richard -- is this something we should add?

If it is necessary, we could add it with the multi-tty support.
However, if we can do without it, let's do without it.  These would
surely not be used very often.  It could be a feature not worth the
effort it costs.

When would you use it?
