Quite. NEVER NEVER assume that anybody else has a terminal, or other
piece of hardware, that is compatible with yours.
Why, even vt100's are usually not compatible with vt100's.
And a vt102 is never compatible with itself 2 minutes ago...
Adding escape-sequences and/or control characters to messages, apart
from nice little critters like \r,\n,\t, is merely destructive.
