relatedly, is it possible to get the results of lastmsg off the screen
and onto stdout? a use case would be sg like

$ screen -S compiles -X at '#' copy
$ screen -S compiles -X at '#' stuff '?error^M'
$ screen -S compiles -X at '#' dumplastmsg|grep -v 'Pattern not found'|wc -l

i.e. checking that some string doesn't occur on any window
