+The "lineedit" library provides a
+ quick way to implement nice line
+ editing into applications.
+
+It requires the user to store the
+ line and the cursor position for the
+ line, which allows the user to
+ implement any additional logic for
+ the application.
+
+(To clarify, this implies that the
+ library's functions are stateless.)
+
+The functions are as follows:
+
+draw = function (sW, line, curX, rX):
+ Returns the spantext.
+
+sW is the width of the area.
+line is the safeTextFormatted text.
+curX is the cursor in screen units
+(usually done as part of the text
+ formatting)
+This is optional, and if not provided
+ the cursor will not be shown.
+rX is an optional camera override.
+If not provided, the cursor will be
+ used; if that is not provided, then
+ the left side will be shown.
+
+clamp = function (line, curX):
+ Returns curX clamped to the line's
+  length (does not check for < 1).
+
+key = function (ks, kc, line, curX):
+ Performs something.
+
+ks, if truthy, is the unicode.char
+ of the key event key character.
+kc is the key event keycode.
+(If feeding in clipboard characters,
+ use 0 here.)
+
+line is the text.
+
+This returns three values, any of
+ which or all of which may be nil for
+ a 'no effect' response:
+
+The new line text, 'lT'.
+The new curX, 'lC'.
+The extended action, 'lX'.
+
+The following extended actions exist:
+
+"l<": The cursor should be warped to
+ the end of the previous line, if one
+ exists (if not, do nothing)
+
+"l>": The cursor should be warped to
+ the start of the next line, if one
+ exists (if not, do nothing)
+
+"w<": This line should be welded to
+ the previous line, and the cursor
+ should be placed at the weld point.
+
+"nl": The Enter button was pressed.

+The "svc-t" program / "x.svc.t"
+ permission makes up the terminal
+ subsystem for KittenOS NEO.
+
+ --- THEORETICAL TERMINALS MODEL ---
+
+The theoretical model for terminals
+ in KittenOS NEO is that of a stack
+ of processes controlling a player's
+ connection to a MUD, where text is
+ provided to the server and to the
+ player in a line-by-line format,
+ with no "flow control"/ttyattrs.
+
+A process starting another process
+ connected to the same terminal is
+ advised to wait for that process to
+ die before continuing in terminal
+ activities, unless some sort of
+ 'in-band notification' functionality
+ is intended.
+
+The controlling process is whichever
+ process is supposed to be accepting
+ user input. This is contextual, and
+ there is no mechanism to control
+ this explicitly.
+
+The controlling process should show
+ text in response to any user input,
+ or at least provide some form of
+ acknowledgement that user input has
+ been received.
+
+User input IS NOT automatically
+ echoed by the terminal.
+
+  --- ACTUAL USAGE OF TERMINALS ---
+
+Access control on terminals is looser
+ than for most permissions, as it has
+ to be able to be 'sublet' in some
+ cases, including events.
+
+A terminal program is given a string
+ argument for the ID of the terminal
+ to connect to.
+
+A terminal always has an ID beginning
+ with "x.svc.t/". ALWAYS CHECK THIS.
+
+Requiring the responsible access
+ connects to the terminal. All
+ terminal programs SHOULD check for
+ the death of their parent terminal
+ (via the k.procdie event) and
+ self-destruct accordingly.
+
+A program may start svc-t directly.
+
+In this case, it must pass a function
+ (resTbl) and may pass a title.
+
+When the terminal has shown, the
+ function provided is called with a
+ table as follows:
+
+access = "x.svc.t/<...>"
+close = function (): close terminal
+
+The k.kill permission and the close
+ function are the only ways for a
+ program to kill a terminal, and the
+ close function is only given to the
+ creating process.
+
+In either case, when the access has
+ been acquired, the following API is
+ presented:
+
+id = "x.svc.t/<...>"
+pid = <The terminal's PID.>
+line = function (text): Shows a line.
+
+When the user sends a line, an event
+ of: <id>, "line", <text>
+ is provided.
+
+-- This is released into
+ the public domain.
+-- No warranty is provided,
+ implied or otherwise.
