because _technically_ cout should not use the console's control functions.
it's a _stream_.  in TCC, they've modified the cout library to use their own
console driver OR have used specific DOS interrupts to set cursor position.

'course, I may be wrong, but that's what I remember.  for example, printf
does not use the current cursor position and color, however, cprintf
(con-printf) _does_.
