DESCRIPTION
       This  package provides commands to send ANSI terminal control sequences
       to a terminal. All commands come in two variants, one  for  sending  to
       any channel, the other for sending to stdout.

       The  commands  are  defined using the control sequences provided by the
       package term::ansi::code::ctrl. They have the  same  arguments  as  the
       commands they are based on, with the exception of the variant for send‐
       ing to any channel.  Their first argument is always a  channel  handle,
       then  followed  by  the original arguments. Below we will list only the
       variant sending to stdout.

       ::term::ansi::send::import ?ns? ...
	      Imports the commands of this package into the namespace  ns.  If
	      not  specified  it defaults to send. Note that this default is a
	      relative namespace name, i.e. the actual namespace will be  cre‐
	      ated under the current namespace.

	      By  default  all	commands will be imported, this can however be
	      restricted to specific  commands,	 by  listing  them  after  the
	      namespace to import them into.

       ::term::ansi::send::eeol
	      Erase (to) End Of Line.

       ::term::ansi::send::esol
	      Erase (to) Start Of Line.

       ::term::ansi::send::el
	      Erase (current) Line.

       ::term::ansi::send::ed
	      Erase Down (to bottom).

       ::term::ansi::send::eu

       ::term::ansi::send::sc
	      Save Cursor. Note: Only one saved position can be handled.  This
	      is no unlimited stack. Saving before  restoring  will  overwrite
	      the saved data.

	      nate font (scs1).	 This  does  not  change  whether  default  or
	      alternate font are used, just their definitions.

	      The legal tags, and their meanings, are:

	      A	     United Kingdom Set

	      B	     ASCII Set

	      0	     Special Graphics

	      the  possible   attributes,   as	 provided   by	 the   package
	      term::ansi::code::attr.  For  convenience this package also pro‐
	      vides  additional	 commands  each	 setting  a  single   specific
	      attribute.

       ::term::ansi::send::groptim str
	      Optimize character graphics. The generator commands above create
	      way to many superfluous commands shifting into and  out  of  the
	      graphics	mode.  This  command  removes all shifts which are not
	      needed. To this end it also knows which characters will look the
	      same  in	both  modes, to handle strings created outside of this
	      package.

       ::term::ansi::send::clear
	      Clear screen. In essence a sequence of CursorHome + EraseDown.

       ::term::ansi::send::init

	      ics.

       ::term::ansi::send::showat row col text
