In v1.6 of VS Code the newly introduced Terminal API will allow processes to exist before the actual terminal panel/element is created. While this is currently possible, xterm cannot be initialized until the element exists, which means the output before the element is attached is lost. It would be good if everything was functional only no rendering took place until open is invoked.

Sounds legit. Would it make sense to export the renderer into its own module for this?

Ideally, not sure how difficult that is right now

Since the Terminal can be used now before being attached, we should check element on destroy.
