What's the sequence for reading the terminal title?

If I remembered it I'd have included it :)

I did some unsuccessful searching for "query xterm title" earlier today.

The first 3 results from Googling "xterm escape sequences" are

 rtfm.etla.org/xterm/ctlseq.html

That one has it:

printf "\033];badexample\007"

This sets the title in both xterm and Terminal.

printf "\033[21;t\n"

That brings back the title in Terminal, with a leading "l"... and in the keyboard buffer. Doesn't work in xterm, possibly because xterm is pickier about the exact sequence.
