Subject: implemented ^T command: allows typing by code and getting characters
 from stdin or the user

* n:^T always prints bytes (cf. :^A)
* ^T without arguments returns a codepoint or byte from stdin.
  In interactive mode, this currentply places a cursor in the message line and waits for a keypress.
