Regarding the long lists: i chose 'add' first b/c i think with the ignore
globs those lists should be relatively short (and start at the current dir,
so they're shorter w/in subdirs).

Screen handling: yes, a drag, thus only basic number/letter inputs. Nothing
requiring line editing. Or... linenoise is a basic libreadline-like clone
which has all the basic features, none of the bloat, and is relatively
portable:

BSD license. Customizable tab completion... the possibilities.
