On OSC52 compatible terminals, or on OSC52 compatible terminals that
define TERM to xterm-like string?  The latter sounds like a good idea
to me, but only if support for OSC52 necessarily means xterm-mouse
escape sequences must be supported.  Is this conjecture indeed true?

How do I check this? can you show some script or Lisp or whatever you
used to check?

Thanks.
