Description

SnoopCompile has a Cthulhu extension and JET may soon get one. It might be nice if it were easy to test these extensions, and a key to testing them would be fake terminal support.

Of course, this isn't essential because we can always use include(joinpath(pkgdir(Cthulhu)), ...). But it seems like it might be more broadly usable if it were a package.

Research direction

Start by inspecting test/FakeTerminals.jl and the repository's package and test configuration. Determine the package boundary and dependencies needed for fake terminal support to be used by Cthulhu, SnoopCompile, and potentially JET extensions. Done means the support is independently usable as a package and existing tests still work.
