[Announcement] A new approach to the command line

[Announcement] A new approach to the command line

[Sebastian Gniazdowski]

By accident I might stumble upon a new way of doing command line – in
the project: https://github.com/psprint/n-commodore

Basically it's about 3 factors:
- panelize everything,
- grep everything,
- save everything.

Panelization is known from Midnight Commander - it means to capture
command output into a list that can be browsed. Grepping is known from
fzf. Screen saving is a new paradigm

You basically have new screen (a greppable panel) for each new
command, which is saved to the disk (GDBM), and which can be
fetched/navigated to, having also PWD dir and position in panel
restored.

There are new features:
- ag/ripgrep/ack line number recognition – jump straight to results,
- two columns view by default,
- man page support (enter `man …` to view a manual page)
