You might mention that some applications will override this. For
example, Tramp will always use `tramp-terminal-type' (which is
"dumb"). This is because Tramp will run into problems if color is enabled.

Btw, environment variables in the Emacs manual are emphazised as @env{TERM}.

Best regards, Michael.
