I think we have reached the point where we won't be in total agreement
over the API, so let's choose whatever is submitted as a patch.
I only have two remaining issues with the patch:
- the tests needn't be in a separate file, they can go in test_os
- there should be a test for get_terminal_size_raw as well (and of
course it should be skipped if the function doesn't exist)
