Description
### Problem
I use some VT100 control characters in my scripts. I've found that Elementary Terminal seems to ignore them.
[`bigtext`](https://github.com/colindean/hejmo/blob/master/scripts/bigtext):
```bash
#!/bin/sh
text="${*}"
printf "\033#3%s\n" "${text}"
printf "\033#4%s\n" "${text}"
printf "\033#5"
```
```
$ bigtext this should be big
this should be big
this should be big
```

### Proposal
Support xterm/VT100 control characters
One document on them:
https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html
### Prior Art (Optional)
xterm and Apple Terminal support this, but iterm2, gnome-terminal, terminator, and alacritty do not. I only tested those.
