[clrafuwv] Graphical terminal app

Consider a terminal for command line interaction which can display much more than plain text as standard output.  I imagine interaction like:

$ cat image.ppm | terminal-image-show
[image displayed here]
$

Or
$ terminal-image-show < image.ppm | less
[one screenful of a long skinny image is shown, press spacebar for more]

Similarly for colored and styled text, even HTML.  This might be a new browser paradigm.

Output is interpreted, say, Latin-1 unless piped through the UTF8-show program. Or we invoke a subshell which by default always displays as Unicode.
