I appreciate this initiative, but I have one remark concerning this synta=
x
: why should "close" be here ? It is very different from other entries fo=
r
'set terminal' which do not correspond to actions, but to settings.

I would prefer to see a new entry in the term table, for term->close(),
which could probably go along with new term->raise(), term->lower()
instead of the way these two calls are currently implemented directly in
command.c
