i'd forgotten about bright/dim blink

i've been thinking that maybe nested tables would be better than character cells, for example, accommodating proportional fonts and multiple sizes much better

Everyone has... I'm not sure it's a big loss, but I found it funny to "fix" and the fun of tweaking tiny things like that lies at the core of a whole lot of terminal bikeshedding...

A lot of simplicity could easily go away if it's not done well, but I like the idea. I want to eventually support some limited "upgrades" in that direction, but will take some cleanup efforts before that'll be priority.
