Cool, doesn't seem to be in the Emacs repo but I'm guessing it's this

I think it did. What I've found online indicates kitty invented it, used
Su for the termcap, this lead to an issue on tmux which suggested
changing it to Smulx [2]. That's why the termcap for it is inconsistent.
I can't find any reference for support before kitty.
