Err, I haven't paid my 86 Francs to find out, but ISO-10464 appears to specify
testing regimes for gas cylinders -- a very worthy thing to do, but seemingly
unrelated to terminal output.

I suspect you mean ISO-10646, if so you might want to correct its appearance in
the API.

PS: Typos aside, I'm excited to see the progress in vty.  Thanks.
