  //! A class that is able to redirect all output to a openGL-Shell, and that one can use to input some commands

   * the major idea is, that all the Output can be redirected to the Shell,
   * and does not have to be displayed to the opening Shell, this is good,
   * for developers using Windows, where all output is otherwise redirected
   * to stdout.txt
   *
   * Furthermore the Shell should enable us, to input some simple commands
   * Each Class can check itself in to the Shell, and listen for commands.
   *

   * @see shell_buffer.h
   * @see shell_input.h
   *
   * !! note in order to keep shellbuffer to a minimal (it is included with
   * !! debug.h) Display of it inside the Shell is located here !!
