terminfo capability for hyperlinks

[Tom Tromey]

Hi.

I happened to be looking for terminfo support for OSC 8 today.
I've been thinking of adding URL-ization to gdb, see

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32290

... but I was wondering how to detect whether or not the terminal
supported this feature.  I stumbled over this thread.

I think this would be a nice addition.

I understand that the roll-out of this feature has been weird.  IIRC at
the start the developers indicated that terminfo was someone else's
problem, which is hardly very helpful.

And, I gather from reading this thread that there's some disagreement
about the advisability of the feature, plus some personal animosity.

I get all that, but I'd still like to plead for a terminfo change to let
client programs detect this.  It's an actually existing feature of a
bunch of terminals, and it would be handy to be able to detect whether
it is supported.

thanks,
Tom
