Can't we cater to both cases by adding lisp/term/ghostty that reused the parts of xterm.el which work fro Ghostty? I think this should be more robust and future-proof than just the alias. Since Emacs has a general machinery to cater to specifics of each terminal, it sounds not very clean to provide an alias, when "Ghostty is not de jure a xterm variant". Or what am I missing?
