The difficulty in implementing child frames on TTY are not because
Emacs cannot draw on TTY at arbitrary coordinates, it's because there
are fundamental design principles on which TTY display is based.  I'd
actually recommend to implement child frames on TTY as a special kind
of window that is free of the "normal" window geometry restrictions.
