Use of padding instead of ^S/^Q implies that the host can fully
emulate the timings of an arbitrary complex terminal, across all
versions of software releases for that terminal including all special
cases and optimizations of the terminal and independent of any other
processing (such as keyboard handling) that the terminal might do and
through any networks that might be used and might have contention and
provide optimal highly tuned performance for all this.

While ^S/^Q is lousy, it is what we are stuck with for the moment.
