- What should be the default escape key for char mode?
  Currently; I'm using ^C.

- What other keybindings should we have for char mode?

- What terminal type should we use?
  The old shell.el defined TERM=emacs.
  To avoid confusion, we should use something different.  (E.g. if TERM
  is "emacs", bash turns off editing, which is not what we want.)
  I'm currently using TERM=emacs-terminal.
  This is somewhat verbose.
  Other ideas:  TERM=eterm TERM=emacsterm TERM=emacst.

- How should buffer-local variables be defined and documented?

; Features in comint.el not supported:
; comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input
; comint-process-echoes (would be always true)
; comint-password-prompt-regexp (not useful)
; comint-watch-for-password-prompt (not useful)
; comint-eol-on-send
; comint-run
; comint-preinput-scroll-to-bottom
; comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom (inlined into term-emulate-terminal).

; Should set EMACS env var to emacs-version?
; Should set TERM to vt100 if using terminfo?
; Should we set COLUMNS if using terminfo?
; New C-c kodes?
