If someone mails me the show/hide_tilde() functions, I'll consider them and
your (tested version) patch. (If people really want it, they'll send it.)
Personally, I think the ~ killing is quite elegant even with its
limitations. Consider the size and complexity of every other patch
compared to it. The bonus is you don't even have to use it unless you
install one of those packages, in which case there is probably incentive to
write something better or change the terminator. (I know of a MUD that uses
CTRL+K.)
