<summary>I just want to display a bitmap on my terminal. Your library is
complex and stupid. You are simple and stupid.</summary>
If you're willing to call a binary, use <tt>ncplayer</tt> to put an image,
with desired scaling, anywhere on the screen and call it a day. Otherwise,
call <tt>notcurses_init()</tt>, <tt>ncvisual_from_file()</tt>,
<tt>ncvisual_blit()</tt>, <tt>notcurses_render()</tt>, and
<tt>notcurses_stop()</tt>. It's not too tough. And thanks—your thoughtful
comments and appreciative tone are why I work on Free Software.
