xterm-256color (genuine) can hide or show the cursor when the special escape sequences are used:
hide - \E[?25l
show - \E[?25h
Some applications on e.g. Linux or my own tcell app rely on these escape sequences -- on terminals that don't claim to support them we will relocate the cursor to the least offensive location on the screen, but really we'd rather not do that and just hide the cursor.
