Description

The iTerm 2 beta natively supports displaying images. I would like to suggest supporting this as an alternative to Pillow.

If it helps with implementation, here's a script using it: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnachman/iTerm2/master/tests/imgcat

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement native iTerm2 image display using the imgcat script as reference, replacing Pillow dependency.
