I think there's still the TERM hack (I used to do that with rlogin
in the past, to transmit the DISPLAY via the TERM variable). But I
really don't want to use that if there is a better way.
If terminals could be asked for their locales with an escape sequence,
this would be a solution (when being connected to a terminal). Is it
possible? If not, could this be added as an extension?
