|    <esc>[?1034h

OK, these are the same if 31 and 30 are hex (== '1' and '0').

Ah, the confusion here was that 31 and 30 were decimal, which is US
and RS in the ASCII encoding.

So, who sends smm to the terminal?  I don't see that it is used
anywhere by readline (at least not in an obvious way).
