Sure enough, the VT102 has a *third* style of autowrap
(slightly
different from the VT100 and VT101).
Okay, now I'm curious. What are the differences?
My mental model of VT100-family autowrap is that sending a character
that would normally go in the rightmost column works but doesn't move
the cursor; another printing character causes a wrap and the new
character is placed in the leftmost column of the new line. This must
be wrong, or at least incomplete, for at least two of the silly
things....
