Prototype was rewritten a while ago, less of a god-awful mess now. Whether or not this needs support for n concurrent dialog queues is debatable, but it does need some more types of dialogs anyway. Fortunately, types can be defined separately now, see dialog-types.scm.

Though we have a prototype API now, it doesn't support very many dialog types and isn't very flashy. This should be fixed in due time, but for now, other tasks take priority for me.

A prototype dialog API was implemented last night, but it doesn't contain support for proper key bindings. Also, it doesn't properly handle text sizes, but perhaps it shouldn't for now as such things are indeed somewhat complicated and something the user can take care of. Automagically splitting text is somewhat of a luxury.

This library could be somewhat straightforward, the idea being to combine the current window and text APIs to create a somewhat reasonable dialog system.

It would be nice if the system could take care of the properties of the text to be displayed in the specified window, paging it so that it fit and so on. This would require hooks into SDL_ttf, which would basically just expose the SDL_ttf functionality to get the size of a rendered string to GUILE.
