Animation #6

Hey there, thanks for sharing this code, it's great. I'm just wondering how tricky it would be to implement animation support? I'm playing around with this to make a twitch chat for my terminal, and have animated emotes.

In the kitty graphics protocol, animation frames are sent one-by-one, so one would need to extract frames and delays from an animation file and then send them. Quite a bit of work, but should be straightforward.
