Support chat (with a chat history, that is, a conversation)

[rikhuijzer]

This should be very much doable. To implement it, add an extra handler for CTRL + L and make that clear the message history. The handler was already added in #23.

I'm gonna not do this for now. Contrary to chat.openai.com, it's very easy to request the previous query again and make changes to it. That's more productive than a conversation, in my opinion/experience.

i will do it, i came here to say much the same. i disagree with @rikhuijzer , this program is called ask the terminal anything and per se implies a conversation ;-)

as i see it having looked at my fork again which is quite diverged so i made it a hardfork ( a8688c4 ), it probably makes the most sense to completely gut src/prompt.rs, removing @rikhuijzer's custom OpenAI API client and using async_openai (64bit/async-openai).

it could be hacked in w/o doing this but the current code is already extremely hacked and none of us know what API revisions OpenAI will make in future. continuing to use custom client is an undue maintenance burden long-term i think

Hello friends

I have not forgotten this

It was a massive commit, but ata² now uses async_openai! 🥳

This will allow very easy support of chat.

We are already using the chat API in ata², just without the ability to send multiple messages.

However, in preparation, I also totally overhauled his use of GNU readline. Multiline messages are now possible, terminated with ^D.

ata² also has prompt history.

@rikhuijzer my code may be too diverged to backport, but I hadn't really touched src/prompt.rs before this so it may not be so hard, you're welcome to as always :)

incredible job @ctrlcctrlv

I have this working now but the way I implemented it is a bit of a mess.
