from @nogginly:

I've started an external package that offers enhanced terminal application development APIs. This offers compatibility with the `term` package's `ANSI`, `ANSITerm` and `ANSINotify` types while defining a core API that offers more advanced capability.

So far I have been testing on macOS using Terminal.app. I would love to get some help running the example apps on other platforms (Linux, Windows). In particular, there are two examples that I would like to get feedback on:

1. `examples/formatting` which can be used to test the various text formatting options supported.
2. `examples/mousing` which can be used to test mouse input handling
