>Description:
Editline supports a "literal mode" escape character for prompt_print that in theory allows escape codes to be sent directly to the terminal without affecting editline's internal state. However, editline draws normal prompt characters to its internal virtual buffer, but it immediately draws literal-mode characters to the terminal, so a prompt cannot contain literal-mode strings interleaved with normal strings. The literal-mode strings will all be drawn first before the buffer is printed.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Build the libedit test program in src/lib/libedit/TEST/wtc1.c.
2. Run the program in a script as follows:

$ script
$ ./wtc1

The 'Edit$' prompt should be colorized but is not.

3. ^D twice to exit out of wtc1 and the script session.
4. Hex dump the script with 'hexdump typescript'. Note that the "\033[7m" and "\033[0m" escape sequences were printed one after the other instead of surrounding the 'Edit$' prompt.
