/** \file screen.h High level library for handling the terminal screen

	The screen library allows the interactive reader to write its
	output to screen efficiently by keeping an inetrnal representation
	of the current screen contents and trying to find a reasonably
	efficient way for transforming that to the desired screen content.

	The current implementation is less smart than ncurses allows
	and can not for example move blocks of text around to handle text
	insertion.
