The Z shell takes xn to have a particular meaning, although not the one that it was supposed to have.

It was supposed to refer to a particular behaviour of Concept terminals. In practice, it is used in many terminfo records to denote DEC pending wrap, which the terminfo commentary even itself records as being different to the Concept glitch. Yes, terminfo has highly problematic paradigms that simply do not match how terminals and their emulators actually work.

Regarding your second link, I cannot comment on the linked item as it has been archived by HN but as an additional reference for others and possibly a fun read for you: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754596

I like your TerminalCapabilities project.
