Things you might want to add:

a) Escape sequence to set the "dynamic" terminal title

b) how e.g. GNOME notifies you that a long running command has completed

c) how e.g. GNOME asks if you are certain to close a terminal, but only in case you're not in a shell

d) maybe readline or /etc/inputrc

e) bash completions maybe? it's sort of in there already
