This, and as noted the X11 vs. Wayland consideration. And the fact that
this all assumes the pty is associated with an xterm (or whatever) and
not something else like a console or SSH session.

Also, it wouldn't be the PID of the vi process. It needs to trace up
the chain of parent PIDs to get to the xterm.
