This library provides a simple interface to output status messages from more than one thread.

It will continue adding information (such as dots, or "done") to the correct line and continue scrolling when a line is done.

For example, this screen:

Thread ThreadId 27: still working... done

Thread ThreadId 25: still working...

Thread ThreadId 26: still working...

will, once thread 25 has finished, look like this

Thread ThreadId 25: still working... done

Thread ThreadId 27: still working... done

Thread ThreadId 26: still working...

If standard output is not a terminal, it will only print complete lines.

At the moment, it can only handle lines that are shorter than the terminal. If they are not, output will be garbled again.
