## TODO and Ideas

 - menubar feature
 - key callback
 - Right-To-Left text

 - refactor backtitle: multiline, conf.backtitle, WINDOW \*dialog.backtitle.
 - refactor bottomdesc: WINDOW \*dialog.bottomdesc -> fix expandig screen.
 - accessibility https://wiki.freebsd.org/Accessibility/Wishlist/Base
 - add bool conf.menu.depthlines.
 - implement custom getopt\_long().
 - refactor/redesign gauge().
 - improve grey lines expanding terminal (maybe redrawwin() in hide\_dialog()).
 - more restrictive strtol() and strtoul().
