Although this would be cool, it is out of the scope of what I am willing 
to spend time on.

My intent is to make color output easy.  Handling interactive stuff is a 
completely different beast from the usage standpoint.

I might do it someday if I feel like writing a game using terminal 
graphics, but even then there is no guarantee it would be phobos worthy.
