Part of the idea behind using standardised output functions was that |
| 6 |
they could be replaced. The thought was, rather than trying to parse |
| 7 |
console-centric output, you'd swap in a different implementation of the |
| 8 |
output functions that fed to, say, ncurses or a GUI. Then you'd swap |
| 9 |
the driver logic with something that calls multiple tasks in order |
| 10 |
rather than merely doing one thing and then exiting (there's proper |
| 11 |
environment isolation to allow that). |

Might be easier to do things that way... |
