Dear maintainer,

The bracketed paste terminal "feature" has already being problematic for me.
For example, if a program running at a remote location enables bracketed paste
before the remote session breaks, it leaves my terminal and my local command
line program with unexpected pasting behavior; some program may interpret the
bracketed paste escape sequences in a very surprising way; and not to mention
how annoying it was, when I attempts to paste a password under this state...

I has already globally disabled bracketed paste in GNU Readline via
/etc/inputrc, so usuall programs such as bash(1) has restored normal pasting
behavior. But since the uses the bracketed paste in recent ELinks version, it
starts to annoy me again. Some of my terminals actually show incorrect pasting
behavior even in ELinks itself, as shown in the screenshot I attached.

Please add an option in the Options Manager, so users will be able to disable
such behavior when desired; this change will make the user experience so much
better, for users that need it.
