Description
Currently, when term is redirected to a file, the content of file looks wired if some cursor operations are done. It contains some ANSI escape sequences defined in https://github.com/console-rs/console/blob/master/src/common_term.rs
A suite of cursor updating methods maybe also required for File.

Research direction
Start with the cursor-related definitions in src/common_term.rs and trace how output redirected to File is handled. Reproduce cursor operations with file output, then compare the resulting content with terminal output. Done means File supports the needed cursor updates without emitting unintended ANSI escape sequences.
