ncurses appears to have introduced capabilities for bracketed paste.

+ add/use bracketed+paste to help identify terminals supporting this

They are: BD and BE (Disable/Enable bracketed paste) and PS, PE
(Start/End pasted text):
BD=\E[?2004l, BE=\E[?2004h, PE=\E[201~, PS=\E[200~,
This is reasonable, and these are the sequences everyone uses. But it
doesn't help the current situation.
Vim recognises them (see
https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/7b8db111e819bcb07cff6fc451584b0e3e0a49fd).
I think it would be a
good idea for readline to use them as well.
I'm ok with a future version of readline turning on bracketed paste if
it's off and these capabilities exist, but not vice versa. It will be a
long time before all the terminal descriptions have incorporated them.
