Can't really see much of a workaround for needing that. Most linux terminals
unconditionally refuse to back up past the left edge of the screen with
either "\b" or "\e[C". (Just spent a couple minutes playing around in a
command line window.) You have to do some variant of "\e[A\e[79C" at the
appropriate time.

(Why yes, I did write my own ANSI escape code interpreter that did direct
screen writes back under DOS, why do you ask? :)
