#Profanity #XMPP #ncurses

Yay! I got #ACS chars to print using #ncurses from inside #commonlisp using #cffi

I stole the code from #croatoan !

This means I can use more extended characters in a text interface than just ascii.
Like for example the you can create nice borders with the specific border characters.

C programmers won't be impressed because you can do it right from
C ncurses. But using cffi it is not so obvious because it is implemented using
C macros, and what types and what is happening to go from the symbolic
name of the character to the character itself is not clear. (to me)
