True; it is better that rows/columns be in the terminal
ioctl structure (termio/sgttyb).  Has 4.3 also moved $TERM
there?  TERM (and LINES and COLUMNS) are per-port variables,
not per-process.

Then there's the problem of cu'ing from a window.  Not much
can be done in that case if you reshape.  What happens with
remote shells?  Do they see the change or SIGWINCH?
