I was planning to implement screen, not tmux.

I've never used "scripting" in screen and thus wouldn't miss it, so I hadn't
planned on implementing it. I can ssh into stuff or run netcat server mode or do
similar disgusting things whenever I want to run a thing in a context...

That said, if I go "I'm going to implement a week of work" and people jump up
and say "make sure you include another 2 months of work you didn't know about" I
tend to go "oh, I guess I didn't understand this problem space, I guess it _is_
outside of scope for toybox" and either remove it from or flush it to the bottom
of the todo list.

(In this case flush it to the bottom of because probably half the reason I feel
this way about it is I'm up to my eyeballs in $DAYJOB work right now and
disinclined to take on more in a hobby context right now. I _know_ travel and
working through the weekend has made me irritable.)

Nope.

Because it's not worth doing without mouse support. Got it.

You've convinced me not to do it at all.

That's not going into toybox either.
