Sorry, I'm done having to argue against(!) a person who's stonewalling
me by wilfully ignoring differences ("doesn't work perfectly"
interpreted as "does not work at all"), discounting
just-for-testing-purpose workarounds as if they were actual proposed
solutions ("not a sane approach"), ignoring the use case (still
insisting on terminal size mutability), and proposing a nonworking
solution (-nographic does not give me any output, of course because it
doesn't have a terminal to talk to).
Reminds me of discussions in the Maven group, there, anything that
didn't fit their shiny predefined ideas was brushed off in a similar manner.
Choosing the same solution: Use a different workaround, chalk this up
under the Passive-Aggressive Unhelpfulness Encountered column.
No hard feelings towards the community.
Have a nice day everyone.

P.S.: Frustrated. In two ways.
Latin "frustra" = "in vain".
P.P.S.: I will stick around a bit so I can answer to questions based on
genuine interest, but I'll disconnect from the list after that.
P.P.P.S.: No hard feelings towards the community in general. In fact,
thanks to those two who tried to help.
