I have new fresh test file which I hope brings the X04 test to some
new stage or level. The lines sent to zpty now aren't repeated,
because zsh is started with +Z option, and `setopt zle' is emitted
just before the "zpty -w zsh $'\C-a'" line, and the shell / zpty is
closed via Ctrl-D, so luckily only single one, the test line
(BUFFER="true", region_highlight+=...) is emitted and read.

I've used zle -T tc tcfunc, which sets REPLY="", i.e. discards the
codes. Should I change them to something? Because I'm only getting LE
termcap command, moving cursor to the left (after printing POSTDISPLAY
with zsh-autosuggestions text), some cd, ce, up commands and no codes
for colors. Do you think I should not strip the termcap codes and
specify them in test's expected output?

I'm currently removing following escapes from all zpty output:
- ^[[27m, ^[[24m, etc.
- ^[[J
- ^[[K
- ^[[?2004h
- e^Mexit -> exit
- ^[[?2004l

You seem to retrieve some other Zle-managing-output code (I think it's
this) and the tests fail? Maybe it is already fixed by the late-Zle
enabling, so you could try running the new test file?

There are 6 tests currently:

0:basic region_highlight with 8 colors
0:basic region_highlight with true-color (hex-triplets)
0:basic region_highlight with near-color (hex-triplets at input)
0:overlapping region_highlight with 8 colors
0:overlapping region_highlight with true-color
0:overlapping region_highlight with near-color (hex-triplets at input)

PS. Didn't yet search for terminfo file, just did export
TERM=xterm-256, not actually sure how to search for the definition
