Description
One feature from iTerm 2 that keeps me from switching to another terminal emulator is the badge feature, where-in I can set some variables using the iTerm shell integration and then configure the badges to display the contents of those variables.
I use this to display which host I am connected to and which Tmux session I am connected to in the current tab. I have poor eyesight and the ability to have this in large text in the upper-right background of my terminal makes it easy to quickly switch to the right terminal window.
I see that plugins seem to be able to offer some kind of rendering support, and so I was wondering if this would be possible to implement with plugin support.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the plugin rendering support referenced in the issue and compare its capabilities with the described iTerm2 badge behavior. Determine the scope and design needed for displaying shell and Tmux variables in large text. Done would require an agreed implementation plan and a clear way to verify badge rendering.
