+ * Terminal window support, see ":help :terminal".
+ *
+ * For a terminal one VTerm is constructed.  This uses libvterm.  A copy of
+ * that library is in the libvterm directory.
+ *
+ * The VTerm invokes callbacks when its screen contents changes.  The line
+ * range is stored in tl_dirty_row_start and tl_dirty_row_end.  Once in a
+ * while, if the window is visible, the screen contents is drawn.
+ *
+ * If the terminal window has keyboard focus, typed keys are converted to the
+ * terminal encoding and writting to the job over a channel.
+ *
+ * If the job produces output, it is written to the VTerm.
+ * This will result in screen updates.
+ *
+ * TODO:
+ * - +terminal in features[] in version.c
+ * - free b_term when closing terminal.
+ * - remove term from first_term list when closing terminal.
+ * - set buffer options to be scratch, hidden, nomodifiable, etc.
+ * - set buffer name to command, add (1) to avoid duplicates.
+ * - command line completion (command name)
+ * - support fixed size when 'termsize' is "rowsXcols".
+ * - support minimal size when 'termsize' is "rows*cols".
+ * - support minimal size when 'termsize' is empty.
+ * - implement ":buf {term-buf-name}"
+ * - implement term_getsize()
+ * - implement term_setsize()
+ * - implement term_sendkeys()		send keystrokes to a terminal
+ * - implement term_wait()		wait for screen to be updated
+ * - implement term_scrape()		inspect terminal screen
+ * - implement term_open()		open terminal window
+ * - implement term_getjob()
