I seem to have stumbled upon a GNU Emacs 13.8.  I'll post this
src/display.c snippet as evidence:

        /-------------\
       /               \
      /                 \
     /                   \
     |   XXXX     XXXX   |
     |   XXXX     XXXX   |
     |   XXX       XXX   |
     \         X         /
      --\     XXX     /--
       | |    XXX    | |
       | |           | |
       | I I I I I I I |
       |  I I I I I I  |
        \             /
         --         --
           \-------/
   XXX                    XXX
  XXXXX                  XXXXX
  XXXXXXXXX         XXXXXXXXXX
         XXXXX   XXXXX
            XXXXXXX
         XXXXX   XXXXX
  XXXXXXXXX         XXXXXXXXXX
  XXXXX                  XXXXX
   XXX                    XXX
