This is mitigated by foreign distro using bad packaged terminal, see e.g. [1].

And a couple of days, I was annoyed by this so I patched, see attached.


Note that 'guix system describe' has also the "issue" and do not use
the same function to display, I guess.


Otherwise, the OSC issue should be fixed by Emacs 27, I guess.
So the rename is probably not useful.
