I like this a lot, especially the ability to draw lines through graphs like in `btop`.

Somthing I think could be intresting to go along with this is for the terminal to be able to distinguish sub-windows using these border, so if you've got a popup and try to select multiple lines in it, you'll actually select only the text in thr popup rather than the whole terminal-wide line.

That would be awesome! IIRC zellij supports this, but that only works as long as it intercepts all selection inputs. Having a more universal standard that terminal emulators can support would be great.
