Just a quick thought on [all of this]

I didn't expect a quick question regarding termtypes and modern cli 
systems to evolve into this, and I'm not happy about it. I certainly 
wasn't expecting the vituperic resistance (apparently for its own sake) 
of any attempt to interoperate with sofware and systems that people, 
corporate and hobbyist alike, might actually use in 2024.

I like OpenVMS! I want to muck about with it and regain a lot of the 
skillset I lost, and none of this is helping anybody! systemd exists and 
is in use on millions and millions of systems worldwide. windows 
terminal exists; serial connections, as handy as they are, are what you 
bring up a router with and never use again. Combing our whiskers won't 
make 1999 come back.

The vscode integration is commendable, but there's a lot of low-hanging 
fruit remaining.
