 Is it possible to hook this kind of thing into an event loop? Some
equivalent of select/poll?
 That would make it easier to do things like handle multiple terminals at
once.

I think that would be using a screwdriver to hammer a nail in with.
One could create a loop around smg$read_keystroke, replace
all smg$read_string call with lots of application code,
open multiple virtual keyboards to multiple terminals
(input device is an argument), use smg$read_keystroke
with a timeout and try multiple virtual keyboards.
It would require lots of code and perform poorly. And
I don't really see the use case.
