    If a ~ is present just before a ctrl char or the end of a mnemonics string, create a hungry hotspot for the line that sends CR when clicked (similar to ^A~).

    Spinning cursor over the hardware cursor - disabled.
    Define SPINNING_CURSOR_OVER_HARDWARE_CURSOR to enable this experimental feature. I'm not sure I like it better than the way the spinning cursor
    has been displayed for decades (to the left of the hardware cursor).

    Fix logged garbage observed in release rPi3 builds

    The "insert key into keybuf" log line could contain garbage. Apparently
    in a release build, the nested scope stack variable is actually invalid
    after the end of the scope. Weird.

    Fix issue when receiving node messages while using down-arrow at pause prompt

    Hitting down-arrow key at a pause prompt normally displaye just one more line of the display text/file, but if you received a node message/telegram/notice after hitting down arrow, you'd get a screen full of text instead of just a single (one more) line, as you wanted.

    This looks to be because of the anti-recursive protection implemented in pause() - when it calls nodesync() after the key press, that displays
    node/user messages (if there are any) and if pause is called as a result
    (e.g. because the line counter was already set to cause a pause after the
    next line of output), it'd do nothing since that would be recursive. The fix
    is to simply set the line counter as a result of the down-arrow key press *after* the call to nodesync(), which might display multiple lines, but I
    think that's fine.

    getkey: erase the spinning cursor when aborted while waiting for input

    When an abort (e.g. Ctrl-C) arrived while getkey() was waiting in inkey()
    with a spinning cursor (K_SPIN), getkey() returned without erasing the
    spinner. Only the abort check at the top of the loop erased it. pause()
    then backspaced over its prompt using the prompt's own length, so the
    first of those backspaces was spent on the spinner and the prompt's first character (e.g. the '[' of "[Hit a key]") was left on the screen.

    Loop back to the top-of-loop abort check instead, which erases the
    spinner before returning.
