 *
 * An 'attribute' as used in this library means an 8-bit value that conveys
 * a foreground color code, a background color code, and the bold
 * and blink bits. Each cell in the virtual terminal screen is associated
 * with an attribute that specifies its appearance. The bits of an attribute,
 * from most significant to least significant, are 
 *
 *  bit:      7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
 *  content:  S F F F H B B B

 *            `----------------- bold bit
 *
 * It is however recommended that you use the provided macros rather
 * than dealing with this format directly.
 *
 * Sometimes we will call the 'SFFF' nibble above the 'extended
 * foreground color code', and the 'HBBB' nibble the 'extended background
 * color code'. So the extended color codes are just the regular
 * color codes except that they have an additional bit (the most significant
 * bit) indicating bold/blink.
