Description
Is there a way to support CSI queries such as CSI 14 t and CSI 16 t?
The output they produce is:
$ echo -n $'\x1b[14t'
^[[4;969;1872t
$ echo -n $'\x1b[16t'
^[[6;17;8t
Being able to intercept the response to control sequences would be very helpful.

Research direction
Start by tracing how prompt-toolkit handles terminal input and existing control-sequence processing, then reproduce the CSI 14 t and CSI 16 t examples from the issue. Determine how a caller should intercept these responses; done means both queries are recognized and their responses are exposed through a usable interface, with coverage for the reported sequences.
