SIXELS!
-------

Thanks to Kagu-tsuchi over at gopher://kagu-tsuchi.com/,
I'm currently fascinated by sixel graphics, and recently
came across this wonderful document by Chris Chiesa which
describes the ins and outs:

gopher://thelambdalab.xyz/0/docs/all-about-sixels.txt

Driven by this, I'm working on a native Emacs minor mode for
rendering sixel graphics:

gopher://thelambdalab.xyz/1/scripts/browse-git.scm|sixel.git

The rendering algorithm seems to be working, although it is very
slow.  I want to speed this up, and also add a non-sucky way
of automatically detecting and rendering sixel sequences.
