So they reimplemented a screen reader within mlterm, and exposed the
content through brlapi.  That's not really the best way to do this:
it means all the navigation features that brltty provides are either
reimplemented in mlterm (thus duplicate code), or missing.

There should rather be a standard way for fb terms to expose their
content to brltty, similarly to how the kernel exposes the VT content
through /dev/vcs*
