Description

It would be great if Term implemented std::io::Write so that we can pass it to write!() and other functions that take a Write. Currently, Term::write_line() is all that exists, and I don't always want to write a new line. Pre-formatting strings is a bit of a hassle, but having to always write a line also means we can't really do prompts like:

Research direction

The issue identifies Term and the existing Term::write_line() entry point; start by locating that implementation and checking the std::io::Write contract. Done means Term can be passed to write!() and can emit text without automatically adding a newline, including the prompt example.
