The application has to request it be enabled with a private mode escape
sequence. I don't believe vim presently has any built-in support for it,
but I could be wrong - and you could probably hack it by putting the
mode in t_is or t_ti, putting the end escape sequence in :set paste, and
setting a keybinding for the start sequence.
