Add a new 'video' command with 'setcursor' and 'puts' subcommands that provide an alternative interface to the existing setcurs and lcdputs commands.
Update the test is updated to test both the legacy commands and the new 'video' command.
Bisecting is easier if the implementation precedes the test. Please, consider seperating the code change from the documentation change into two patches.

We should not use decimal numbers as parameters. So this has to be line 16. Why is that syntax so clumsy? How about: write 0:0 'Top left' 0:a 'Line 10' write 0:a 'First column in line10' 2a: 'Text column 42' Best regards Heinrich
