I think it would nice to have, but not in std.format. std.terminal or

It would be great if an std.terminal contained general stuff for
manipulating/querying a terminal portably, as well as colour output, eg.
get terminal size, move cursor around, erase line... just things to help
with building UIs, progress bars, etc. that are easy to use.
Although this would be cool, it is out of the scope of what I am willing
to spend time on.
My intent is to make color output easy. Handling interactive stuff is a
completely different beast from the usage standpoint.
I might do it someday if I feel like writing a game using terminal
graphics, but even then there is no guarantee it would be phobos worthy.
