-- | Returns an `Output` for the terminal specified in `WindowsSettings`.
--
-- The specific Output implementation used is hidden from the API user.
-- All terminal implementations are assumed to perform more, or less,
-- the same. Currently, all implementations use terminfo for at least
-- some terminal specific information.
--
-- If a terminal implementation is developed for a terminal without
-- terminfo support then Vty should work as expected on that terminal.
--
-- Selection of a terminal is done as follows:
--
--      * If TERM starts with "xterm", "screen" or "tmux", use XTermColor.
--      * otherwise use the TerminfoBased driver.
