I thought about that too, but this is not perfectly portable to all terminals according to a quick glance at /etc/termcap. Does the Windows console support it? Also we might prefer not to rely on termcap/terminfo library calls. The other solution is to make the remote object summary line a bit longer, but this will be effective only when remote servers are upgraded. Might that be good enough?
