Comment 16 for bug 271487

@Egmont: Wow, that's a lot of food for thought, very interesting ideas, and almost certainly the subtleties of the best methods within libvte would be beyond my limited understanding.

Yes, your second paragraph nailed it with respect to my naive view of what I'd like. However this is getting way beyond what this bug is actually about, so let's move this discussion elsewhere, to somewhere more appropriate. What do you think? A new bug here, a blueprint here, a bug against libvte in it's bugzilla? I think this might be the rare occasion where a blueprint is actually useful :-D
