Need to add a Terminal widget. This is a tracking issue for discussing design and impl.
Key design principles
Critical difference between line-mode vs. block-mode or term-mode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal#Modes -- need to support both, with completely different implementations for each. there is some key escape code that switches modes, and you either see one or the other. Will just use a Stacked layout and switch between the two.
line-mode will wrap a texteditor, with constraint that restricts input to the last row. when enter is pressed, the new line is sent to the stdin of whatever shell is running, and output is always added to history etc. should be fairly simple.
block-mode requires an entirely new widget that represents individual characters in an X,Y grid, sized according to the size of the widget. this implements all the escape control sequences.

These go programs have all the terminfo control sequences etc: https://github.com/nsf/termbox-go -- https://github.com/gdamore/tcell
xterm-256 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xterm is reasonable target to support -- we only want to support one type (initially at least) -- goal is just to support cosh, not reinvent the whole world of terminals at this point. looks like this is the relevant standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code
