"screen", no, since it does some translations, has its own terminfo
and so on. It seems that "tmux" is a bit like "screen". "script"
seems to be OK, the only problem being that one can't enable the
log after the command has started. I don't know whether there are
other drawbacks (such as differences in the output in some cases).
