etox? oooh no. i wouldnt use etox for the terminal itself. the real issue here
is overhead. an evas based eterem would be a lot more overhead (memory, cpu
etc.) the trick is how to do it to minimize that overhead. the important thing
is you want your terminal to be fast and responsive all the time. looking good
is a nice add-on. the problem is basically doing an array of characters. evas
isnt crash hot at doing this efficiently.
in all honesty you'd want a basic evas object (internal, not smart object) that
does a character cell array - a terminal text object. you'd really want to do it
at that level.
