[BRLTTY] Low-level BrlAPI questions

[Aura Kelloniemi]

Hi list,

Samuel, thanks for all the additions. I'll incorporate them into brlapi-rs.
The code is soon in the earliest pre-alpha stage (i.e. wraps most of the API)
and I'll publish the repo on github.

I think this is a very good idea. Could this operation also return the error
message to the client?
