[Chicken-users] parley, termios, and linenoise

[Claude Marinier]

Greetings,

The author of linenoise (antirez) made an interesting choice: linenoise uses a handful of basic ANSI escape sequences. The assumption is that command line programs today tend to run in an xterm (I would like to include the MinGW shell).

Can we use this approach to remove the dependence on things like termios which are missing on MS Windows?

Thanks.

P.S. Yes, this is related to the rlwrap & REPL question but it's more philosophical. :-)
