The canonical example of a "similar mechanism" for a terminal is RS232;
there is no out-of-band communication other than break.

Some control sequences that rxvt-unicode implements first appeared on the
VT420; that is not coincidence.

DECCOLM does not change the number of lines in rxvt -- as I expect you
know, since rxvt-unicode changed it. Likewise xterm, and dxterm of course.

>Note: if you want to achieve something, try *arguments*.

Is it theoretically possible that you could be convinced? If not, I'll stop
wasting our time.
