   * Up to 6 key modifiers, including Meta (Win key) and configurable 
Super and Hyper keys.
   * Bell sounds in package.
   * Various window and clipboard handling optimisations and extensions.
   * User-definable function extensions.

Terminal features
   * New character attributes overstrike and (as inspired by existing 
terminfo capabilities) shadow, subscript, superscript:
     * SGR 8:7 overstrikes characters over preserved screen contents (28 
clears).
     * SGR 1:2 for shadowed display (22 clears).

   * VT510 DECNCSM.
   * Primary Device Attributes report VT420 by default; VT525 supported.
   * Blinking cursor mode (DECSET 12) overlays blinking cursor style 
(DECSCUSR) so that DECRST 12 does not spoil blinking style (#818, 
mintty/wsltty#133).

   * Support DECSET 1007 (mouse wheel reporting, xterm).

   * Fixed DECSET 80 (sixel scrolling mode) which was reverted.
   * Clear All Tabs sequence (TBC 3) extends after resizing, compatible 
with xterm.

extensions.
