Perhaps this "virtual terminal" package would be best put into the
yellow pages. Given a sufficiently efficient implementation of the
basic terminal I/O stream or at least a binary stream to the terminal,
it could be written entirely in Lisp.
This is only true given that there is a physical terminal which can be
controlled by sequences of characters --- a totally unwarranted
assumption.
