This commit implements a new Cmd::Macro variant that allows replaying sequences of keystrokes character-by-character, enabling function key bindings to execute commands automatically.
Since this is replaying a command, it integrates with the command processing pipeline seamlessly, without allowing for completely arbitrary commands to be execute.
Example usage:
When triggered, the macro replays each character as if the user typed it, and the trailing newline triggers AcceptLine to submit the command automatically.
It is related to issue #418: Execute Arbitrary Command Via Keybinding, I took insipration from that issue's name as I needed to "execute" arbitrary command (and not executable) in my application.
