Experimental re-implementation of core functionality with the aim:
- Depend only on the Python Standard Library for core
- If modules are missing elsewhere, *never* throw
- Unit test *everything*
- Cleaner and more minimal implementation
- Better integration points for existing implementations (charts,
braille, etc.)
- Full backwards-compatibility with existing module system (except where
modules can be vastly simplified)
Some laptops, such as Dells, may display an unknown charge state when
the battery is attached to a docking station, but discharging (because
of configuration settings for longevity of the battery).
Show that nicer.
Set the minimum width for uplink and downlink widgets to "down 1000MB",
which should be plenty, and change alignment to right (personally, I
find this looks nicer).
To not have the icons on the left side "jump around" depending on the
value, make them suffixes.
If this solution is not sufficient, alternatively, the widget itself
could perform value padding. In that case, the whole alignment and
min-width settings would be obsolete and the icons could remain on the
left side.
* use psutil instead of "ifconfig" in order to avoid external command
calls
* fix a small bug in the ascii theme (missing colon)
* show statistics per-nic
This is going to be a bit more comprehensive than anticipated. In order
to cleanly refactor the core and the engine, basically start from
scratch with the implementation.
Goals:
* Test coverage
* Maintain backwards compatibility with module interface as much as
possible (but still make modules easier to code)
* Simplicity

Add code that allows themes to be merged (i.e. if certain elements are
not present in a theme, another theme can be "overlaid" to add missing
elements).
Effectively, this is used to create the logical concept of an "icon
theme", which is loaded after the main theme. So, the main theme can
define colors, and the icon theme fills in any missing elements
(practically, all the icons in the form of prefixes and suffixes).
Icon sets are defined in a theme using the "icons" directive, which
should be an array.
