In order to get the term's width & height we need to foray into the FFI world. This is a good tutorial http://blog.ezyang.com/2010/06/first-steps-in-c2hs/ cc @filib

Useful starting point: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12806053/get-terminal-width-haskell

I'll give that tutorial another read.

It's quite well written. Shame that c2hs and the whole FFI business is one on those things I rarely do and every time I do I start from scratch over and over again as I have forgot everything on the topic.
