tmux.GlobalWindowScope.SetAlternateScreen(ctx: context.Context, value: bool) -> error
```

SetAlternateScreen stores the "alternate-screen" window option as bool (tmux 3.2a or later). Read it with [WindowOptionValues.AlternateScreen] from [GlobalWindowScope.Options]; [GlobalWindowScope.UnsetOption] restores inheritance or the global default.
