[SLL] Screen

[Mike Stunes]

All this talk about screen got me interested.. anyway I've been playing 
around with it for a while and I like it.

What I'm wondering is, is it safe to have something like this in my .zshrc:

if [[ TERM != "screen" ]]; then
    exec screen
fi

That way, any time I open a new shell/xterm/whatever, it runs it in a 
screen session, and if I accidentally close the terminal window, it 
doesn't make my lovely emerge-in-progress go away with it. But is it 
safe to do something like that with every new shell?
