    Friendliest-to-webpage way of injecting commandline bar?
    Security: how to prevent other people's JS from seeing or accessing the bar or its output?
        - Method here is isolation via iframe
            - Web content can replace the iframe, but can't view or edit its content.
            - see doc/escalating-privilege.md for other approaches.
