/** @class ReadlineWindow

@brief Helper to redirect readline's in- and output to an ncurses window

The idea of this class is to allow the use of the readline functionality
within a ncurses window. Therefore, several callback and hook function
of the readline libarary are redirected, which allow to redirect the
window's input stream to readline and the readline output to the
window.

After instantisation a pointer to a ncurses WINDOW must be given to the
object to 'bind' readline to this window.

In addition the color of the readline prompt can be set using the
SetPromptColor() member function. Note that the given color must
be the index of a COLOR_PAIR. For details on this see the ncurses
documentation

If ncurses will use more than one window on the screen it might
be necessary to redraw the screen before the cursor is displayed.
Therefore, the Refresh() function must be overwritten. It is called
before the cursor is put to its final location in the readline line
and after all update to the screen was performed.

Refresh() can be used to force a redisplay of the current input line
from a derived class. This might be necessary after changes top the
screen or window size.
