    +A STATEMENT ON LEGACY SUPPORT
    +
    +In the terminal world there is much cruft that comes from old and unsup‐
    +ported terminals that inherit incompatible modes  and  escape  sequences
    +which noone is able to know, except when he/she comes from that time and
    +developed a graphical vt100 emulator at that time.
    +
    +One  goal  of  st is to only support what is really needed. When you en‐
    +counter a sequence which you really need, implement it.  But  while  you
    +are  add it, do not add the other cruft you might encounter while sneek‐
    +ing at other terminal emulators. History has bloated them and  there  is
    +no real evidence that most of the sequences are used today.
    +
