boxed text

[Mojca M. <moj...@gm...>]

Dear developers,

I'm trying to understand how exactly the boxed text should be
implemented in a terminal, but it's not clear to me how it even works.

Is the implementation of enhanced text mode necessary? I see that the
terminal should provide a function
    boxed_text(unsigned int x, unsigned int y, int option)
but it's not clear to me what the function needs to do.

Can I expect a scenario like this one?
   boxed_text(...,...,0) # initialize
   put_text(<x>,<y>,"some") # label1
   put_text(<x>,<y>,"text") # label2
   put_text(<x>,<y>,"floating") # label3
   put_text(<x>,<y>,"around") # label4
   boxed_text(...,...,1)
where the last command is supposed to draw a frame around all four
labels, no matter where on the picture they are?

If not - how exactly should this work?
