INSIDE_EMACS fixes the terminals that render OSC character
incorrectly. It appears in Emacs because there is a bug -- should be
fixed in the next release, not sure.
The other terminal deal correctly with this special character; except
if they are configured the bad way as 'terminal-mate' on Trisquel [1].

INSIDE_EMACS turn off 'link' and 'highlight'. Another modification I
did because I was annoyed. But it is broken because the highlight does
not work anymore neither.
