Nice medium-sized personal project. (Reminds me TekUi.) I'm glad we have 
it in Lua. My congratulations with release, Thijs!

My question is about scope of project. In what directions you are going 
to evolve?

Are you going to further advance dithering and rendering in Unicode
characters (like add 3D with dynamic lighting)? Are you going to add
more widgets (combo-boxes, tabs, panels)? Or this project is mostly done
and there will be only code-quality changes (ideal for me)?
