package colorterm
// this part of the colorterm package facilitates the reading of runes from a
// reader interface (eg, os.Stdin). a straight call to reader.ReadRune() will
// block until input is available. this causes problems if we want the program
// to wait for something else from another reader or channel. with the mechanism
// here, an input loop can use a channel-select to prevent the blocking.
