+concurrency (SC) *end-to-end* inside a *supervision tree*.

+Allows us to sidestep a variety of issues that aren't being maintained
+in the upstream project thanks to the hard work of @mdmintz!
+
+We also include some default settings adjustments as per recent
+development on the fork:
+
+- sticky mode is still turned on by default but now activates when
+  a using the `ll` repl command.
+- turn off line truncation by default to avoid inter-line gaps when
+  resizing the terimnal during use.
+- when using the backtrace cmd either by `w` or `bt`, the config
+  automatically switches to non-sticky mode.
