+ * - Filter bogus Ctrl+<char> combinations.
+ * - Win32 support
+ *
+ * Bloat:
+ * - Completion?
+ * - History search like Ctrl+r in readline?
+ *
+ * List of escape sequences used by this program, we do everything just
+ * with three sequences. In order to be so cheap we may have some
+ * flickering effect with some slow terminal, but the lesser sequences
+ * the more compatible.
+ *
+ * CHA (Cursor Horizontal Absolute)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ n G
+ *    Effect: moves cursor to column n
+ *
+ * EL (Erase Line)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ n K
+ *    Effect: if n is 0 or missing, clear from cursor to end of line
+ *    Effect: if n is 1, clear from beginning of line to cursor
+ *    Effect: if n is 2, clear entire line
+ *
+ * CUF (CUrsor Forward)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ n C
+ *    Effect: moves cursor forward of n chars
