Kartik K. Agaram 6a3098d0e9 use method syntax where possible
Perhaps this is a bad idea. It feels arbitrary, what methods Lua happens
to include in string and table objects without having to go through the
respective modules.

Kartik K. Agaram a8d0c1a56a reconcile all apps with template.tlv
They may take more or less from it (sieve.tlv in particular takes
nothing since call depth doesn't help at all there), but what they take
is in the right order so that you can compare across apps.

Kartik K. Agaram 2d6b88204b anagrams.tlv: now fully responsive
If we press a key the computation now restarts instantly.

There's no fiction of multi-threading in Teliva. If the application
doesn't work right, it beach-balls. If it doesn't beach-ball under
normal circumstances you're more certain it'll never beach-ball. It's
more work up-front, but there's less variability in outcomes.

Kartik K. Agaram 057f4a2870 anagrams.tlv: slightly more responsive
Now we cancel screen-painting if any key is pressed.

However it looks like just computing the list of anagrams can take a
long time.

Kartik K. Agaram ae51b06dab starting to make Teliva apps more testable
Tasteful apps should only perform side-effects through 'window'
arguments rather than the 'curses' module directly. It's ok however to
read constants like curses.A_NORMAL or curses.stdscr().

There are some limitations, unfortunately. Ncurses wasn't designed with
testability in mind. For example, there's no way to curs_set or
assume_default_colors without the 'curses' module. Oh well.
