Thanks for suggestion. I tried to use "TERM=ansi" together with
customizing 'comint-terminfo-terminal' to "ansi", and it works fine
everywhere, except compilation mode. In compilation buffers
it inserts unhandled escape sequences that break fontification.
Had to disable ansi in compilation by customizing
'compilation-environment' to '("TERM=dumb")'.
