For years I've wanted to do a pty master/slave command that would run another
command in a simulated pty, feed input into it ala expect with simulated X and Y
size of the "screen", and be able to check "where is the cursor now" after
operations, and maybe get a dump of the simulated screen output.

Alas, it was on my todo list along with implementing screen, and people on here
insist that only tmux with random features I have no interest in is ever worth
doing, so... nope, no plans.
