I don't know yet.  It is printed as part of the printed representation
of the terminal object, but other than that, it's hard to know what is
it for.  It's quite possible that even the corresponding member of
struct terminal is unused.  If I won't find any use for it, I will
delete any references to it.  For now, I'm still trying to find my way
back home...
