Well, it's good to have an idea of what am I going to do, after this patch set.
I was thinking of a super easy implementation, nearly without a buffer.
Spit the chars to the screen and replace characters on the fly.
When a buffer is needed (search/save/etc.), read the screen.
This would gave a dramatic boost in regular operations, but a slowdown to the
operations that need a buffer.
I'll be interested to see what you come up with.
Sorry to have hijacked your thread with my own woolgathering! I'll shut
up now & until I have some code to show.
