Comment (by bonefish):
Replying to [comment:6 siarzhuk]:
> There are also dirty way - hack the xterm entry and extend colors and
color pairs entries to 256 and 32767 correspondent. ;-) But that breaks
the hypothetical consistency with the "reference" xterm in the outside
world, that anyway nobody care about.
But does it break anything that matters? Apparently most (any exception?)
Linux distributions use "TERM=xterm" and, assuming that virtually all
console programs are actively maintained for Linux, I can't really believe
that it does.
> BTW, that (modify TERM per session) looks like yet another feature for
Terminal Profiles mentioned here: https://dev.haiku-
os.org/ticket/5030#comment:8
Since `TERM` must be set before starting the shell, that would require
some UI to explicitly start a new session with a certain profile.
