Oh thanks, have you filed a PR for this? That is around the best way to keep
it in focus :) Oh I think the rest is also very interesting; the current
console can use some enhancements!

Have you also envisioned supporting Sixel or similar enhancements? I'm not
sure what others there are but this is one. There is a proof-of-concept patch
that is platform dependent already but it might be included too?

Thanks for the work!
