Ahh, that (I missed original message).


Yes, it is a feature. zsh must know the exact position on the screen, 
else output may be messed. promptcr makes sure the pscreen position is 
known.

The same sort of problem happens if prompt contains escapes that move 
cursor. You may be badly surprised.


Not having final newline in tty text output is not common; and catting 
binary files on tty is not the best way to see  contents.
