It does not yet exist.

Indeed! It seems not to be documented what this multi-tty feature is  
and what it might be good for. The question is whether the multi-tty  
patches can be integrated into the unicode-2 branch with reasonable  
effort. If it's possible and does not disturb the additions to  
Unicode Emacs (use of libfontconfig and libXft and use of modern  
OpenType fonts) then it's probably only a question of time when the  
multi-tty patches will have infiltrated Unicode Emacs.


Who needs the multi-tty feature? And what is it actually good for?
