I was planning to put the title there, the one that the programs sets on
the terminal. Hmm, looks a bit strange with the buffer name in the Vim
window title and the vterm title in the status. Better make them the
same, as what happens with a buffer name. It is also useful to put
"running" or "finished" there. I'll make that work.

Why not what Neovim does, i.e. use term:// pseudo-protocol to describe how (using which command) terminal was created? The main issue with names like [Terminal] is that you can’t save terminals with :mksession.

I already added a todo item to deal with viminfo. Not sure yet what to
do there (having a command re-started because it happens to be running
in a terminal seems a bit unexpected).

But for the displayed text showing term:// is definitely weird.
Normally the command itself is enough to know it's a terminal.
