// This file includes some common stuff to build TUI applications with

#include <ncurses.h>

// It is surprisingly hard to find a good library to handle Unicode shenanigans,
// and there's enough of those for it to be impractical to reimplement them.
//
//                         GLib          ICU     libunistring    utf8proc
// Decently sized            .            .            x            x
// Grapheme breaks           .            x            .            x
// Character width           x            .            x            x
// Locale handling           .            .            x            .
// Liberal license           .            x            .            x
//
// Also note that the ICU API is icky and uses UTF-16 for its primary encoding.
//
// Currently we're chugging along with libunistring but utf8proc seems viable.
// Non-Unicode locales can mostly be handled with simple iconv like in sdtui.
// Similarly grapheme breaks can be guessed at using character width (a basic
// test here is Zalgo text).
//
// None of this is ever going to work too reliably anyway because terminals
// and Unicode don't go awfully well together.  In particular, character cell
// devices have some problems with double-wide characters.
