Thanks, I haven't looked at these yet but it occurred to me that even
with the ability to look at termcap sequences we're still restricted by
what capabilities the current terminal type offers, so the result will
vary according to the TERM variable --- I haven't defined a way of
intercepting tccan().  I suppose for full control that needs a zle -T
function too (it just needs to test the return value).
