// Multi-column characters can only have a single style/color throughout.
// Existence is suffering, and thus wcwidth() is not reliable. It's just
// quoting whether or not the EGC contains a "Wide Asian" double-width

// other things, like cuneiform. True display width is a *function of the
// font and terminal*. Among the longest Unicode codepoints is

// wcwidth() rather optimistically claims this most exalted glyph to occupy
// a single column. BiDi text is too complicated for me to even get into here.
// Be assured there are no easy answers; ours is indeed a disturbing Universe.
//
// Each nccell occupies 16 static bytes (128 bits). The surface is thus ~1.6MB
// for a (pretty large) 500x200 terminal. At 80x43, it's less than 64KB.
// Dynamic requirements (the egcpool) can add up to 16MB to an ncplane, but
// such large pools are unlikely in common use.
//
// We implement some small alpha compositing. Foreground and background both
// have two bits of inverted alpha. The actual grapheme written to a cell is
// the topmost non-zero grapheme. If its alpha is 00, its foreground color is
// used unchanged. If its alpha is 10, its foreground color is derived entirely
// from cells underneath it. Otherwise, the result will be a composite.
// Likewise for the background. If the bottom of a coordinate's zbuffer is
// reached with a cumulative alpha of zero, the default is used. In this way,
// a terminal configured with transparent background can be supported through
// multiple occluding ncplanes. A foreground alpha of 11 requests high-contrast
// text (relative to the computed background). A background alpha of 11 is
// currently forbidden.
//
// Default color takes precedence over palette or RGB, and cannot be used with
// transparency. Indexed palette takes precedence over RGB. It cannot
// meaningfully set transparency, but it can be mixed into a cascading color.
// RGB is used if neither default terminal colors nor palette indexing are in
// play, and fully supports all transparency options.
//
// This structure is exposed only so that most functions can be inlined. Do not
// directly modify or access the fields of this structure; use the API.
typedef struct nccell {
  // These 32 bits, together with the associated plane's associated egcpool,
  // completely define this cell's EGC. Unless the EGC requires more than four
  // bytes to encode as UTF-8, it will be inlined here. If more than four bytes
  // are required, it will be spilled into the egcpool. In either case, there's
  // a NUL-terminated string available without copying, because (1) the egcpool
  // is all NUL-terminated sequences and (2) the fifth byte of this struct (the
  // gcluster_backstop field, see below) is guaranteed to be zero, as are any
  // unused bytes in gcluster.
  //
  // The gcluster + gcluster_backstop thus form a valid C string of between 0
  // and 4 non-NUL bytes. Interpreting them in this fashion requires that
  // gcluster be stored as a little-endian number (strings have no byte order).
  // This gives rise to three simple rules:
  //
  //  * when storing to gcluster from a numeric, always use htole()
  //  * when loading from gcluster for numeric use, always use htole()
  //  * when referencing gcluster as a string, always use a pointer cast
  //
  // Uses of gcluster ought thus always have exactly one htole() or pointer
  // cast associated with them, and we otherwise always work as host-endian.
  //
  // A spilled EGC is indicated by the value 0x01XXXXXX. This cannot alias a
  // true supra-ASCII EGC, because UTF-8 only encodes bytes <= 0x80 when they
  // are single-byte ASCII-derived values. The XXXXXX is interpreted as a 24-bit
  // index into the egcpool. These pools may thus be up to 16MB.
  //
  // The cost of this scheme is that the character 0x01 (SOH) cannot be encoded
  // in a nccell, which we want anyway. It must not be allowed through the API,

// Plots. Given a rectilinear area, an ncplot can graph samples along some axis.

// should never fall, but may grow non-monotonically. The desired range in terms
// of the underlying independent variable is provided at creation time. The
// desired domain can be specified, or can be autosolved. Granularity of the
// dependent variable depends on glyph selection.
//
// For instance, perhaps we're sampling load as a time series. We want to
// display an hour's worth of samples in 40 columns and 5 rows. We define the
// x-axis to be the independent variable, time. We'll stamp at second
// granularity. In this case, there are 60 * 60 == 3600 total elements in the
// range. Each column will thus cover a 90s span. Using vertical blocks (the
// most granular glyph), we have 8 * 5 == 40 levels of domain. If we report the
// following samples, starting at 0, using autosolving, we will observe:
//
// 60   -- 1%       |domain:   1--1, 0: 20 levels
// 120  -- 50%      |domain:  1--50, 0: 0 levels, 1: 40 levels
// 180  -- 50%      |domain:  1--50, 0: 0 levels, 1: 40 levels, 2: 40 levels
// 240  -- 100%     |domain:  1--75, 0: 1, 1: 27, 2: 40
// 271  -- 100%     |domain: 1--100, 0: 0, 1: 20, 2: 30, 3: 40
// 300  -- 25%      |domain:  1--75, 0: 0, 1: 27, 2: 40, 3: 33
//
// At the end, we have data in 4 90s spans: [0--89], [90--179], [180--269], and
// [270--359]. The first two spans have one sample each, while the second two
// have two samples each. Samples within a span are averaged (FIXME we could
// probably do better), so the results are 0, 50, 75, and 62.5. Scaling each of
// these out of 90 and multiplying by 40 gets our resulting levels. The final
// domain is 75 rather than 100 due to the averaging of 100+25/2->62.5 in the
// third span, at which point the maximum span value is once again 75.
//
// The 20 levels at first is a special case. When the domain is only 1 unit,
