I'm sorry, my description was wrong. It should have read:
Oh, I'm doing that all the time, but no dice. Suspend vim and poof,
I get to see whatever was on screen before that, but nothing from the
_vim_ session.
What I'd like to see after exiting from or suspending vim is this:
--- (part of) vim output:
...
/*
* Enter alternative screen mode. A copy of the visible
* screen is saved and the history is not updated
*/
...
/mnt/backup/no-backup/src/bulk/console/tmux/repo-cvs/tmux-build-spott/input.c,C
--- right next comes some bash interaction:
[1]+ 3720 Stopped vim -p input.c
/src/bulk/console/tmux/repo-cvs/tmux-build-spott
$ hi 5
1027 100206-22:44 g saved_grid *.c
1028 100206-22:45 v /root/.tmux*
1029 100206-22:46 tmux set-option -g status-interval 12

Instead there's nothing from the vim screen and I just see bash
interaction stuff. This happens with all curses programs, and it might
have to do with saving the grid in input_handle_sequence_sm()@input.c on
every curses initialisation. If this is the case, there should be an
option to switch it off. The way I see it this option should still save
the original grid coordinates to be able to restore it properly in
input_handle_sequence_rm()@input.c.
The problem I see looking at lines 1189pp @ input.c is the GRID_HISTORY
flag, which is supposed to be off after handling the sm sequence. I'm
not sure if it should stay on if a new option disables the saved_grid.
