/// A simple example demonstrating how to handle user input. This is a bit out of the scope of
/// the library as it does not provide any input handling out of the box. However, it may helps
/// some to get started.
///
/// This is a very simple example:
/// * An input box always focused. Every character you type is registered here.
/// * An entered character is inserted at the cursor position.
/// * Pressing Backspace erases the left character before the cursor position
/// * Pressing Enter pushes the current input in the history of previous messages. **Note: **
/// as
/// this is a relatively simple example unicode characters are unsupported and their use will
/// result in undefined behaviour.
///
/// See also https://github.com/rhysd/tui-textarea and https://github.com/sayanarijit/tui-input/
