Actually, I had already implemented something like this. It was
considered "ugly" by the debian-boot people to expose things via shared
memory.  I still think it would be a good thing to implement something
like this, maybe a bit more standardized, so that *fbterm programs could
provide it and brltty/sbl/brass/etc. could use it, and could even be
used on other OSes.  Ideally there should be a way to insert unicode
characters as well.

Now, AT-SPI people would say "just implement the AT-SPI interface!"  I'm
not sure we really want that.
