std.term.prompts
std.term's prompts: Confirm asks yes or no, Choose for one of some options, and Ask for a line of text, on the console or on a Terminal given. Where both what's written and the keys are a terminal's, keys are read as they're typed: Confirm takes y or n at once, Choose moves through its options with the arrows, and typing filters them, by fuzzy matching, and Ask edits its line as a shell does. Otherwise, as from a pipe or a file, each reads a line, which it writes after its question, and asks again for one it can't take. Each gives Null at the end of the input, and for Escape.

Confirm
function
Public Function Confirm(terminal: Terminal, question: String, default: Bool? = Null): Bool?Asks question on terminal, and gives True for yes or False for no, or default for ENTER

Ask
function
Public Function Ask(question: String, default: String = ""): String?Asks question on the console, and gives what's typed, or default for nothing.
Ask
function
Public Function Ask(question: String, validate: Func(String): String?, default: String = ""): String?Asks question on the console, and gives what's typed, or default for nothing, once
validate gives Null for it; until then, what it gives says what's wrong, and the question
goes on.

Choose
function
@PanicsAtCaller Public Function Choose(terminal: Terminal, question: String, options: String[], default: Int = 0): Int?Asks question on terminal, and gives one of options, by its index: where it's interactive,
