Supports Redox and POSIX. Untested on Windows.
A note on stability

This crate is not stable, yet. However, if you do want stability, you should specify the revision (commit hash) in your `Cargo.toml`, this way builds are complete reproducible, and won't break.

- Cursor movement.
- Color output.
- Text formatting.

and much more.
