I do plan to support stdio mode. While stdio mode needs more changes 
than tui mode, so I plan to do it in a follow-up patch.

Posting this patch now is because I want to listen from community first 
for this feature. If the tui patch could be accepted, then it's worth 
putting more efforts on stdio version. That's my thoughts.
