Any work in this direction would be great.
It would help me move emacs-framebuffer
<https://logand.com/sw/emacs-framebuffer/file/emacs-framebuffer.el.html>
forward. I use w3mimgdisplay there which works on the Linux console.
w3mimgdisplay uses quite similar protocol and also caches the images for
faster redrawing.
There was discussion about some aspects, for example:
id:87zh9hrxfj.fsf@logand.com
id:87czzu7y5r.fsf@logand.com
id:87mtyw9c7f.fsf@logand.com
Unfortunatelly, I think it would require quite a lot of changes to the C
code.
(image-size (create-image "/tmp/a.jpg"))
=> (error "Window system frame should be used")

That was also my motivation for emacs-framebuffer.
