Legacy xterm compatibility
----------------------------
The original xterm proposal for this escape code used shape names from the
file:`X11/cursorfont.h` header on X11 based systems. Terminal implementations
wishing to maintain compatibility with xterm can also implement these names as
aliases for the CSS based names defined in the :ref:`pointer_shape_names` table.
The simplest mode of operation of this escape code, which is no leading
optional char and a single shape name is compatible with xterm.
