/** \file screen.h High level library for handling the terminal screen
The screen library allows the interactive reader to write its
output to screen efficiently by keeping an inetrnal representation
of the current screen contents and trying to find a reasonably
efficient way for transforming that to the desired screen content.
The current implementation is less smart than ncurses allows
and can not for example move blocks of text around to handle text
insertion.

contents being erased. If it is incorrectly set to one, it may
result in one or more lines of garbage on screen on the next
repaint. If this happens during a loop, such as an interactive
resizing, there will be one line of garbage for every repaint,
which will quicly fill the screen.
