 #
 # Notes
 #
 # - This is a hacky first implementation for my shell tools/dotfiles (ZSH)
 # - Intention is to use it for CLI wizards (my aim is NOT a full blown curses TUI window interface)
 # - I concerted TPUT to ANSII-sequences to spare command executions (e.g. `tput ed | xxd`)

 # 
 # Notes
 # - if references are encountered it will automatically try 
 #   to resolve them unless '-f' is passed!
 # - resolving functions can be seen as bonus since they also 
 #   use `declare` (but with -fF). this behavior should  be removed!
 # - bad indicates bad referencing which normally shouldn't occur!
 # - types are shorthand and associative arrays map to "map" for convenience

	# - This is a hacky first implementation for my shell tools/dotfiles (ZSH)
	# - Intention is to use it for CLI wizards (my aim is NOT a full blown curses TUI window interface)
	# - I concerted TPUT to ANSII-sequences to spare command executions (e.g. `tput ed \| xxd`)
