Oh, right, I missed it, sorry. Okay, that was my suggestion but are now
this topic better than I do, so I shall let you decide what to do with
this report now.
Sorry, one more reflexion about that. There may exist other solutions,
but if the decision is between adding or not hs, tsl and fsl to the
xterm definition, I think this is the question that should be
considered: will the situation be better or worse than it is currently?
For what I see, the current situation is:
* many shell configurations and programs use hardcoded escape sequences
for xterm only, and do not use other terminal's window title features
because they do not know about it;
* several other graphical terminal emulators expose tsl and fsl for
window title, simply ignoring the column argument;
more to the point (a quick glance at the terminal database shows me that a
majority use the parameter, and that the "several" which you may be
considering is still only a small fraction of the total). For discussion
purposes, there's a "xterm+sl block, which has only been mentioned 2-3
times over the past 10 years.
* as far as I know, there exist no program that use the status line
column selection, but I may be wrong: did you get many bug reports
about rxvt-unicode's tsl that does not honor the position argument?
bug reports about urxvt would be forwarded to its developer...
(an extension name would not conflict with existing usage)
