When I last looked at supporting older MacOS versions, there was a lot more
work than just a vis*() wrapper.  Can you explain what steps you took to
achieve this? Note that, just slapping a vis wrapper from tmux is a bit
rash; that version has been modified slightly.

Additionally, I am not sure of the cost-benefit of maintaining too old a
version of MacOS; partly I cannot guarantee it due to a lack of access to
such systems; the CI we use is limited as it is.  I also don't want to rely
on, say, MacPorts for this as this is not in GoT's control at this point.

Kindly,
Thomas
