  "This module combines the facility of normal, modern shells with
some of the edit/review concepts inherent in the design of Plan 9's
9term.  See the docs for more details.

Most likely you will have to turn this option on and play around with
it to get a real sense of how it works."

;;; Commentary:

;; The best way to get a sense of what this code is trying to do is by
;; using it.  Basically, the philosophy represents a blend between the
;; ease of use of modern day shells, and the review-before-you-proceed
;; mentality of Plan 9's 9term.
;;
;; @ When you invoke a command, it is assumed that you want to read
;;   the output of that command.
;;
;; @ If the output is not what you wanted, it is assumed that you will
;;   want to edit, and then resubmit a refined version of that
;;   command.
;;
;; @ If the output is valid, pressing any self-inserting character key
;;   will jump to end of the buffer and insert that character, in
;;   order to begin entry of a new command.
;;
;; @ If you show an intention to edit the previous command -- by
;;   moving around within it -- then the next self-inserting
;;   characters will insert *there*, instead of at the bottom of the
;;   buffer.
;;
;; @ If you show an intention to review old commands, such as M-p or
;;   M-r, point will jump to the bottom of the buffer before invoking
;;   that command.
;;
;; @ If none of the above has happened yet (i.e., your point is just
;;   sitting on the previous command), you can use SPACE and BACKSPACE
;;   (or DELETE) to page forward and backward *through the output of
;;   the last command only*.  It will constrain the movement of the
;;   point and window so that the maximum amount of output is always
;;   displayed at all times.
;;
;; @ While output is being generated from a command, the window will
;;   be constantly reconfigured (until it would otherwise make no
;;   difference) in order to always show you the most output from the
;;   command possible.  This happens if you change window sizes,
;;   scroll, etc.
;;
;; @ Like I said, it's not really comprehensible until you try it! ;)

That is, if a command is running and the user presses SPACE at a time
when the end of the buffer is visible, point will go to the end of the
buffer and smart-display will be turned off (that is, subsequently
pressing backspace will not cause the buffer to scroll down).

This feature is provided to make it very easy to watch the output of a
long-running command, such as make, where it's more desirable to see
the output go by than to review it afterward.

Setting this variable to nil means that space and backspace will
always have a consistent behavior, which is to move back and forth
through displayed output.  But it also means that enabling output
tracking requires the user to manually move point to the end of the
buffer using \\[end-of-buffer]."
