the variable is called TERM_PROGRAM, so that needs corrected. but after
doing that the patch seems to work well for me with sequoia's
terminal.app (TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=455.1). i don't have tahoe so i can't
test there either way

atm i think there is still an argument for committing it despite tahoe
apparently not needing it any more: pre-tahoe releases make up about 47%
of macos events in homebrew's analytics from the last 30 days. what %
it'll be when 5.10 actually releases, idk

arrows, home/end, pgup/pgdn, insert, delete, backspace, and all of the
function keys
