class Text;

//! 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.
 *
 * more info: @see ShellCommand
 * @see shell_command.h
 * @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 !!
