Right, the code needs to be able to handle the situation where the
underlying terminal emulator doesn't support the feature.
There are typically 2 situations:
- the terminal emulator just ignores the special codes we send, so we
can happily delude ourselves into thinking they always work.
- we check the terminal version info before enabling/using the feature
(see xterm--version-handler in lisp/xterm.el).
It seems the first option won't work here, since we may send large
chunks of text as clipboard contents, which are unlikely to be
silently ignored.
