Curious why you need this because (1) we do not have the same for
save_term() here, and (2) we include compat/terminal.h where these
two are declared next to each other.

It is in preparation for the next patch where we will call these newly
public functions from editor.c
I'll be reusing restore_term(), while save_term() is new, hence why
only one had this change.

I think I understand all that correctly.

I was curious why the patch left a forward declaration, instead of
just removing it, which it can do because now we have the necessary
declaration in the header file it includes.

of course, just sloppy coding on my part; will remove in a reroll

thanks,

Carlo
