Streaming responses #12

It would be nice to have streaming responses. But, because of the design of the communication between chasm client and server, streaming responses are not trivial. The connection is zmq REQ-ROUTER, so the server only responds to client requests rather than simply broadcasts.

One way might be to redesign the client UI so that responses are async updated to screen in a separate area from the user input. This adds complexity though. The least surprising way might be to lock to user input whilst receiving stream updates.
