I pointed that out already some time ago during the discussion about a
separate command for "cycle"-ing the line (finishing it) in PostScript
for example. Another similar discussion was started about color
handling and all those unnecessary color specifications in epslatex.

I filter out (some of) such commands in my terminal "manually", but
this filtertering could be done for all terminals at once with some
help of an additional clever layer between the core and terminals.
(The optimisation of output code takes me quite some time and ugly
code. This could be all handled in an additional layer and my code for
the terminal would be much shorter then.)
