In theory this would be a good strategy but, unfortunately, we are
talking about a library that is layered over the top of curses.  There
really is no sane way of printing something to the screen that will not
either be invisible or mess up the layout of the terminal.  We could add
it as a debug but even that is unlikely to be seen.
