/**
 * Wraps a given ANSI escape sequence in a DCS (Device Control String) passthrough sequence
 * specifically for GNU Screen. This allows raw escape sequences to be sent to the
 * terminal emulator that is hosting Screen, bypassing Screen's own interpretation.
 *
 * The basic format is: `DCS <data> ST` (where `DCS` is `ESC P` and `ST` is `ESC \`).
 *
 * GNU Screen has limitations on the length of string sequences it can handle (often around 768 bytes).
 * This function can optionally chunk the input `sequence` into smaller parts, each wrapped
 * in its own `DCS...ST` sequence, to work around this limitation.
 * @param sequence The ANSI escape sequence string to be wrapped.
 * @param limit The maximum length for each chunk of the `sequence` before it's wrapped.
 * If `0` or a negative number, the sequence is not chunked. Defaults to {@link SCREEN_MAX_LEN_DEFAULT} (0).
 * Consider using {@link SCREEN_TYPICAL_LIMIT} (768) for practical chunking with Screen.
 * @returns The wrapped string, possibly chunked into multiple `DCS...ST` sequences if `limit` is positive and the `sequence` exceeds it.
 * @see {@link https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html#String-Escapes} GNU Screen Manual - String Escapes.
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * import { screenPassthrough, SCREEN_TYPICAL_LIMIT } from \'@visulima/ansi/passthrough\';
 * import { cursorShow, cursorHide } from \'@visulima/ansi/cursor\';
 *
 * const longSequence = cursorHide + "Some very long output..." + cursorShow;
 *
 * // No chunking (default behavior if sequence is short enough or limit is 0)
 * const passthrough1 = screenPassthrough(cursorHide);
 * console.log(JSON.stringify(passthrough1)); // "\u001bP?25l\u001b\\"
 *
 * // With chunking, assuming SCREEN_TYPICAL_LIMIT is small for demonstration
 * const limitedPassthrough = screenPassthrough(longSequence, 10); // Hypothetical small limit
 * // Example output if longSequence was "0123456789abcde" and limit 10:
 * // "\u001bP0123456789\u001b\\\u001bPabcde\u001b\\"
 * console.log(JSON.stringify(limitedPassthrough));

 * Wraps a given ANSI escape sequence in a special DCS (Device Control String) passthrough sequence

 * terminal emulator hosting tmux, bypassing tmux's own interpretation.
 *
 * The format is: `DCS tmux ; <escaped-data> ST`
 * (where `DCS` is `ESC P`, and `ST` is `ESC \`).
 *
 * The `<escaped-data>` is the original `sequence` with all occurrences of the ESC character (`\u001B`)
 * doubled (i.e., `ESC` becomes `ESC ESC`).
 *
 * **Note:** For this to work, the tmux option `allow-passthrough` must be enabled (`on`) in the tmux configuration.
 * By default, it might be off.
 * @param sequence The ANSI escape sequence string to be wrapped and properly escaped for tmux.
 * @returns The wrapped and escaped string suitable for tmux passthrough.
