 When the buffer associated with the terminal is wiped out the job is killed,
 similar to calling `job_stop(job, "kill")`
 
+By default the 'bufhidden' option of the buffer will be set to "hide".
 So long as the job is running: If the window is closed the buffer becomes
 hidden.  The command will not be stopped.  The `:buffer` command can be used
 to turn the current window into a terminal window.  If there are unsaved
 changes this fails, use ! to force, as usual.

-Environment variables are used to pass information to the running job:
-    TERM		name of the terminal, 'term'
-    ROWS		number of rows in the terminal initially
-    LINES		same as ROWS
-    COLUMNS		number of columns in the terminal initially
-    COLORS		number of colors, 't_Co' (256*256*256 in the GUI)
-    VIM_SERVERNAME	v:servername
-
-The |client-server| feature can be used to communicate with the Vim instance
-where the job was started.  This only works when v:servername is not empty.
-If needed you can set it with: >
-	call remote_startserver('vim-server')
-
-In the job you can then do something like: >
-	vim --servername $VIM_SERVERNAME --remote +123 some_file.c
-This will open the file "some_file.c" and put the cursor on line 123.
