Hmm, one issue with luit is that it doesn't interpret Save Cursor and 
Restore Cursor (ESC 7 and ESC 8), which are supposed to save and restore 
the character set shift state.

So adding luit to a "UTF-8 vt220 emulator" is not quite enough to look 
good in vttest.

In practice I would guess few applications rely on this (I hope).
