This, and also it's efficient. As much as I like video screencasts, I cringe everytime I think I am actually watching an ASCII streams exposed through highly complex high-resolution megabytes long compressed video. Makes me wanna finish my emacs-repl-screencast-mode.el ..

This will be very useful! That said, I have to second the concern above that it should ask for confirmation before uploading; just auto-uploading could be an in issue if somebody accidentally pastes sensitive information into the terminal.
