Hi!

I am thinking of adding a feature and would like to make sure it makes
sense to everyone else, first.  Here's the use case:

I have some code that will set window title periodically (via setting
process title), based on what the program is doing.  This is fairly
limited, since it won't work over SSH and requires using some limited
low level stuff.  I would like to set the title with
"\033kthis\033\\", but that means that once the program exits, the
title is stuck to what it was before.

I would like to propose that there be a new escape code that programs
can print to reset the title inference mode.  Users could even put it
in their prompt if they wanted to.  I have no idea how hard this is,
but it seems like it would be useful, and I have not yet even been
able to figure out a way to hack it in by shelling out to tmux (since
if the window is no longer selected you have to use @window to set the
rename, and figuring out what window the program started in is oddly
difficult.)

Does this make sense?  I looked through input.c and it doesn't seem like
it'd be especially hard, though it may be frowned upon do to (lack of)
a standard for this.
