(In all frames if you have a frame on a Linux console, I think?  Or did
I misunderstand how term/* stuff works?)

We're discussing how to make this work better over at bug#21363.  I'm
wondering whether altering global-auto-composition-mode to respect a
predicate function (to only switch it on on the console), but
`auto-composition-mode' is a per-buffer thing, and you may open the
buffer on a different frame, then display it on the console, and then
that won't work either...
