You mean like on TOPS-20? Where it seems the tty drivers use TERMCAP or an
equivalent (if you type more than 1 line & hit ^U it cursors to the beginning
of the input line (maybe several terminal lines above) and sends a CL sequence!

But back to the subject... I tried it. I didn't like it. It seems to be
difficult to tell what's a page and what isn't.
