After some experimentation, I'm becoming convinced that no control
sequence exists that (a) isn't already used by something, and (b) will
remain hidden in general for terminals. I still would prefer a
private-use function to a standard one, but at this point I think it's
best to just pick something, and document the fact that such typescripts
should only be used as input to scriptreplay.

There should be a way to strip them back out again, though. Probably via
an option for scriptreplay.
