By default, I intend to have the input-area *wrap* at the end of the line, such that it takes up more than one line if you type a very long input string.

For some purposes, and according to some people's aesthetics, this may not be as acceptable as ensuring that the prompt-zone is always exactly one line high; thus, a script that replaces our functionality with irssi's solution would be useful.

In this case, we would want it to watch character-by-character input, and modify the text *shown* in the zone by removing one character from the start of the line for every character added to the end. It would also have to maintain the entire string for submission when the input is submitted; and it would have to support ‘scrolling’ back and forth if the user navigates to a different location in the line (via, perhaps, ⌃A or ←).
