Set a window title

Describe the feature you’d like to be implemented

ghcid sets the terminal window title to things like "66 errors - foo" (where foo is the project name). Would be a nice quality of life improvement to do the same.

List alternatives to the feature and their pros and cons

I saw the code for this in ghcid when I was porting its features. I'm not necessarily opposed, but I don't quite understand the workflow. Where do window titles show up that you find useful?

One scenario is that it allows me to keep score when working through a long list of errors (that overflows a single view) mid-refactoring.

Another is that the window title is sometimes more visible/available than the contents, for example when Alt-Tabbing in Windows (I use WSL2 in Windows).
