A new paradigm, mc/pure-shell like command line

By accident I might stumble upon a new way of doing command line – in the project: https://github.com/psprint/n-commodore

Basically it’s about 3 factors:

panelize everything,
grep everything,
save everything.

Panelization is known from Midnight Commander - it means to capture command output into a list that can be browsed. Grepping is known from fzf. Screen saving is a new paradigm

You basically have new screen (a greppable panel) for each new command, which is saved to the disk (GDBM), and which can be fetched/navigated to, having also PWD dir and position in panel restored.
