This SRFI is a very good complement to SRFI 205.

@amirouche What backends do you have in mind?

I do not know. I only know about termbox. I have no experience with Windows.

Very recent versions of Windows 10 support ANSI escape codes but it'll be many years until those are ubiquitous.

My approach so far with windows is to put much hope on WSL.
