Which part of a pane is read, and in what form.

A capture reads what the pane is showing, not what the program in it
intended: a redrawn screen and a scrolled-off line are both gone.

## Members

- `alternateScreen` (property): Capture the screen saved underneath a full-screen program, tmux's `-a`.
- `end` (property): Last line to capture; negative counts back from the visible bottom.
- `escapeSequences` (property): Keep the escape sequences that colour and style the text, tmux's `-e`.
- `joinWrapped` (property): Join wrapped lines, matching tmux's `-J`.
- `start` (property): First line to capture; negative reaches into scrollback history.
